Gender Distribution of Research Students in Science-related Subjects at a UK University in 2009
The chart provides information on the number of male and female research students studying six science-related subjects at a UK university in 2009. Overall, it can be observed that there were more male research students than female in all subjects except for Biology. In terms of the number of research students, Physics had the highest number of male students, with approximately 120, while Chemistry had the highest number of female students, with around 100. The number of male students in Chemistry was slightly lower, at around 90. Mathematics and Computer Science had a similar number of male students, at around 80, while the number of female students in these subjects was significantly lower, at around 60. Interestingly, Biology was the only subject where the number of female research students exceeded that of males, with around 70 female students compared to approximately 60 male students. This suggests that Biology may be more popular among female students at the university. In conclusion, the chart highlights the gender distribution of research students in science-related subjects at a UK university in 2009. While there were more male students in most subjects, Biology stood out as the subject with a higher number of female students.
