The bar chart illustrates the number of research students from six disciplines such as linguistics, psychology, natural sciences, engineering, programming, and mathematics in 2005. The students are divided into two groups: male and female.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is clear that the number of female research students was less than the number of male students in all subjects except linguistics. In addition, there was a remarkable contrast between the numbers of female and male research students in math.
To begin with the subject of linguistics, more than 100 girls did research, while the number of males in this sphere made up approximately 80. In psychology and natural sciences, the number of male research students reached the highest number, which was 200. The number of females also reached 200 in natural sciences, being 50 higher than the figure for female members in psychology.
There were the same figures for male research students in engineering and programming (150). Compared to males, the number of female research students consisted of approximately 85 in engineering, and 75 in programming. Finally, the number of male research students studying math was 200, whereas less than 50 females did research on this discipline, which was the lowest figure.
