The graph compares the figures for researchers at both genders across different scientific modules at a UK university in the year 2009.
Overall, the dominant presence of males was witnessed at almost all courses, with the exception of Veterinary medicine. In addition, inanimate-based disciplines attracted more males than the remaining gender, while animate-based ones were interested by both genders.
Concerning courses focusing on lifeless objects, the data demonstrates the widest disparity between Physics participants at two genders, including over 4 in 5 males and just under one-fifths females. At the same time, a similar figure at 150 was shared between the number of male researchers at Astronomy and Geology, compared to the halved number of female students at the equivalent disciplines.
Regarding subjects related to living things, Biology was the most popular choice for learners, regardless of males or females, with nearly 250 for the former and 200 for the latter. Besides, these figures were closely followed by 200 males and 175 females taking part in the Medicine course, which relatively doubled the quantity of students in Veterinary Medicine.
