The column graph illustrates how many research students, including males and females, studied different subjects in 2005.
Overall, what can be surmised from the data is that the number of male students who studied different subjects was more than the number of female students who studied different subjects, except for linguistics and natural sciences. The subject that had the most students is natural sciences.
The subjects that had more male students made up 4 out of 6 subjects, such as psychology, engineering, programming, and mathematics. As for the number of students who studied psychology, the gap between the number of female students and the number of male students wasn’t big. It was just over 170 and 200 respectively. The number of male students in engineering was less than 50 students compared to psychology’s 200. The number of female students who studied in engineering made up half of the number of male students in this subject. The number of students in programming was roughly the same as the number of students in linguistics. The number of female students in programming was slightly less compared to engineering’s 80, equaling to 75. The biggest gap between the two categories was seen in mathematics. The former category was just under 50, the latter category was 200.
On the other hand, the number of female students in linguistics was more than 30 students compared to male students’ 105 in linguistics. Natural sciences saw the same trend between males and females, standing at 200.
