The bar chart shows the gender distribution of
students
doing scientific research across a range of disciplines at a UK university in 2009.
In five of the six disciplines, males outnumbered females. Male students
made up a particularly large proportion of the student group who study the subjects related to inanimate objects and materials: physics, astronomy, and geology. The gender gap was particularly large in the field of physics, where there were five times as many male students
as female students
.
Men
and women
were more equally represented in subjects related to the study of living things: biology, medicine
, and veterinary medicine
. In biology, there were nearly as many women
(approximately 200) as men
(approximately 240). This
was also
true of medicine
. Veterinary medicine
was the only discipline in which women
outnumbered men
(roughly 110 women
vs. 90 men
).
Overall
, the chart shows that at this
university, science-related subjects continue to be male-dominated; however
, women
have a significant presence in fields related to medicine
and the life sciences.Submitted by jockeydj on
