In the chart above we have the percentage ratio of male and female students who enrolled in different science-related university courses in the UK in 2021. At the bar graph we can identify five field of studies: computer science, engineering and technology, biological science, medicine and dentistry, and physical sciences. Also we see two different shades for male and female applicants.
Firstly, let’s look at the field of computer science. There male applicants occupied 80% of the whole students and female applicants make up 20% of all enrolls. The second field we will discuss is engineering and technology. Here we have the picture similar to the previous one: more than 80% of the whole students are male, and less than 20% are female. These fields of science have the most visible difference between male and female students.
Let’s move on more natural sciences. At the field of biological sciences we can see the biggest quantity of female students – about 60%, at the same time there are the least number of male applicants – less than 40%. Medicine and dentistry has the smallest difference between genders and more than 60% of students are female. The last one is physical sciences and there is the picture opposite to the previous one – approximately 60% of male students and about 40% of female students.
