The bar illustrates the number of domestic students and international students studying computer science at a UK university between 2010 and 2012. The figure shows the changes and the different preferences between males and females. In general, males dominated the study of computer science at the start, however, there was an obvious gain of domestic female students. In contrast, it only showed slightly increasement in international females.
In 2010, the number of domestic male students were nearly 38, doubling the number of international male students. However, it decreased dramatically in 2011 to 25, but it was still higher than international students. In 2012, both local and oversea male students witnessed significant rise in their enrollment, hitting to 48,38 respectively.
In contrast, less females prone to study computer science in 2010. The number soared to 42 for domestic female students in 2011, surpassing local male students nearly one-third, whereas it slightly increased to 18 for international female students. The number continued to gain slightly for both, reaching the highest in 2012.
This contrast suggests differing levels of interest or opportunities for male and female students in the field of computer science during this period.
