i was looking at the course enrollments for 2025, and while most subjects between both male and female students are rather equal (save for physics… hey girls, especially ones in all girls schools, does physics typically run for you? What stopped you or your peers from choosing physics?) why is it that biology has almost double the female students?

also heres the website if you wanna check it out: https://www.nsw.gov.au/education-and-training/nesa/hsc/facts-and-figures/enrolment-data/courses

my co-ed school has quite a number of girls taking physics but yeah that it an interesting point to bring up in how it look like in a all girls school

I go to an single sex school so I wouldn't be able to comment, but physics and chem are definitely more popular than bio (probably because it scales higher but oh well)

Do you reckon there’s a correlation with higher maths (like the 4u math kids take physics?)

i go to an all girls school and physics always runs for us
biology is more common bc lots of people want to go into courses that need biology as a prereq eg nursing or anything in the med field
engineering is still a common course that people want to do in uni ofc but not as much as things to do with med in my school (hence why we have 1 class for physics and 3 for biology)

i fell victim to this too and chose biology over physics bc i wanted to pursue med in yr 10 👍👍

Yeah, it’s honestly pretty hard to find courses that require something like chem or physics as a prerequisite, and I think because bio is not as mathematical as the other sciences it’s tremendously more popular.
I like biology personally as it relates to my everyday life, we see evolution, genetics, diseases ect everyday.
Can’t speak for physics, but chemistry is less applicable in everyday life.


I can’t say we’re getting to the root of bio being more popular with women, but maybe men aren’t as interested?
