The table provides data concerning the different proportion of students studying in an 
Australian University in 2011. It is clear that although there were variations from 
department to department, more females than males studied Arts, while more non-native 
speakers preferred Science subjects. 
Specifically, in majors like humanities, education, science and physics, more than half the 
students were females. Among them, females seemed to favour humanities the most, with 
72% students learning it, which is in sharp contrast with the departments of information 
technology and engineering, where females occupied only 17% and 15% seats.
Interestingly, the percentages of students whose mother tongue was not English, were less 
than half in all departments, with the figures for science subjects remaining relatively higher, 
ranging from 38% to 49%. In humanities and education, only 12% and 16% students were 
non-native speakers. 
The pattern for the proportion of foreign students was quite similar to the group above, with 
physics and information technology departments taking the lead (56% each), followed by 
engineering (48%) and science (31%). Humanities and education again ranked the last, 
making up only 20% and 23% respectively.
