Mathematics and statistics

In 2014, women's representation in mathematics and statistics reached more than 40% at the bachelor's and master's levels but remained below 30% at the doctoral level. At all degree levels the percentage of women in mathematics and statistics is higher than the corresponding percentage of women in engineering and computer sciences. Despite increases in the numbers of women earning degrees in mathematics and statistics since 2004, the proportion of women has declined at the bachelor's and master's levels.
