The pie charts illustrate the distribution of various university degrees earned in two specific years, 1975 and 1990.
Overall, the most significant change over the 15-year period was the dramatic rise in Computer Science degrees, while the popularity of Humanities subjects saw a substantial decline. Other fields, such as Law and Medicine, remained relatively stable.
In 1975, Humanities was the most popular choice, accounting for 22% of all degrees. However, by 1990, this figure had dropped significantly to only 11%. Conversely, Computer Science, which represented a mere 3% in 1975, surged to 13% by 1990, becoming a much more prominent field of study.
Business degrees remained the most common throughout both years, despite a slight decrease from 25% to 21%. Meanwhile, the proportion of Law degrees showed a minor increase from 9% to 12%. Other subjects, including Medicine and Natural Sciences, experienced only marginal fluctuations, maintaining a consistent share of the total degrees earned.
