The given bar chart illustrates the numbers of students enrolled in five university disciplines, namely Engineering, Medicine, Arts, Business, and Science, in a particular country in 2010 and 2020.
Overall, enrolments increased in all five subjects over the period. Business remained the most popular discipline and experienced the largest absolute growth, whereas Arts consistently attracted the fewest students. Engineering and Medicine also recorded noticeable increases, while Science showed the most modest rise.
Turning first to the three larger disciplines, Business enrolled the greatest number of students in both years, rising markedly from approximately 1,500 in 2010 to just over 2,100 in 2020. Engineering also witnessed steady growth, with student numbers increasing from around 900 to 1,100. A similar but slightly stronger upward trend was observed in Medicine, where enrolments climbed from about 800 to roughly 1,300, allowing it to overtake Engineering by the end of the period.
Regarding the remaining subjects, Arts remained the least popular field despite a moderate increase, with enrolments rising from approximately 300 to 450 students. Science followed a comparable pattern, growing only slightly from around 600 to 800, making it the discipline with the smallest overall increase among the five categories. Nevertheless, both subjects experienced higher enrolment figures in 2020 than in 2010.
