The bar chart shows the proportion of male and female students enrolled in six different art-related subjects at a UK university in 2011. Overall, it’s clear that there were more female students than male students in most of the subjects, particularly in Linguistics and English language and literature.
The total number of female students significantly outnumbered their male counterparts. For instance, in Linguistics, there were well over 200 female students compared to just under 200 males. Similarly, in English language and literature, the female student population was approximately 240, while the male population was about 220.
Conversely, there were only two subjects where male student numbers were higher: Philosophy and History and Archeology. In Philosophy, male students numbered around 140, whereas female students were fewer than 50. This represented the most significant gender disparity. In History and Archeology, there were about 100 male students and 70 female students. For the remaining subjects, Art and Design and Communication and Media Studies, female students were more numerous, with a gap of around 20-30 students between the genders in each field.
