The bar chart shows the number of male and female students doing scientific research across a range of disciplines at a UK university in 2009.
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 in subjects related to the study of 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 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. (168 words)
