The table provides data about students studying in six departments in an Australian university. Overall, while the highest percentage of female students studied English and Modern languages, the reverse was true for students whose first language was not English. Moreover, foreign students exhibited the highest figures in the percentage of students who studied Physics, Math and Chemistry.
Focsuing on the female students first, there were two subjects which females selected at most English and Modern Languages, with the respective figures for 72% and 68%. An inversion could be observed in the percentage of foreign language students for English and Modern languages; however, 49% and 42% percentages of non-native English students studied science-based subjects Math and Chemistry, respectively. Additionally, 49% of non-native English students chose a humanity subject such as History.
Turning to the details of overseas students, 56% of foreign students chose studying Physics and Math, selecting it slightly more than non-native English speakers. Moreover, 48% of overseas students were more engaged in Chemistry than other students.
