At the beginning of the period, the percentage of males choosing the science subject were around 65 per cent, and there was a huge gap between males and females with 35 per cent. At the second period, the amount of males and females slightly changes although the number of males remained higher than females. At that time, percentage of males declined and percentage of females improved which percentage of both gender were equal at 15 per cent.

The bar charts show the percentage of undergraduates choosing three different science subjects in 1992 and 2012.
In general, there was more male than female students learning science subjects in the given two years. Additionally, biology was most chosen by the students, while those learning physics and computer science took up smaller proportions.
In 1992, nearly 70 per cent of the students were males, while their counterparts only accounted for 30 per cent. Over the following 10 years, despite a growth of 10 per cent, the percentage of female students was still lower than that of males which declined to under 50 per cent in 2012.
Biology was preferred by approximately 65 per cent of the students in 1992, which was nearly triple the figure for physics, at only 20 per cent. Computer science, on the other hand, was the least chosen subject, at under 5 per cent. The year 2012 witnessed a significant drop in the proportion of biology learners, from 65 per cent to over 40 per cent, whereas the figure for physics remained unchanged at 20 per cent. Computer science became more popular with its percentage increasing substantially to over 20 per cent.
