The table indicates the analysis of students studying in six fields in an Australian university in 2011.
Regarding the social sciences group, English, modern languages, and history lessons were mainly contributed by a significant volume of female students, at 72%, 68%, and 52%, respectively. Just a low percentage of students in this subject group were non-state learners, with 20% of the English class, 23% of the modern languages class, and 31% of the history class. Thus, their first language was mostly English, with 88% of the English lecture and 84% of the modern languages course, apart from students majoring in history which had 45% of non-local English speakers.
In terms of the physical science subjects, a large number of students were male, at 83% for math and 85% for chemistry, except physics, which still had a significant quantity of female learners, at 56%. Most of the students in this subject combination were not native Australians; more than half of the students (56%) in physics and math class were non-local, and the same situation for chemistry class, with 48% of students. As a result, a high proportion of students were not native English speakers, at 38%, 49%, and 42% for the physics, math, and chemistry lectures, respectively.
