The bar chart compares the gender distribution of students studying science-

related subjects at a UK university in 2009.


Generally, male students made up the large proportion of students in most
subjects exceptional in veterinary medicine female students is higher than male
one. In the field of Physics, there was a sharply different gap between two gender
where the male students were five times as the female students.
The men and women were more equally represented in subjects related to
study of living things: Biology, Medicine and Veterinary medicine. In Biology,
there were nearly as many women (approximately 200) as men (approximately
240). Veterinary medicine was the only subjects in which women outnumbered
men (roughly 110 women vs. 90 men).
Overall, the chart shows that at the University in six science-related subjects
women have a significant presence in fields related to Medicine and live sciences.
The numbers of male research students science-related subjects at a UK university
in 2009 declined slowly from 220 students to 150 students between Physics and
Geology, rose dramatically from 150 students to 235 students between Geology
and Medicine, and then there was a drop to 190 students in Veterinary medicine.
The numbers of female research students science-related subjects at a UK
university in 2009 rose significantly from 45 students to 190 students between
Physics and Biology, and then there was a drop to 120 students in Veterinary
medicine.
