However, Veterinary Medicine has the lowest figure of students among the other fields, accounting for over 50 male students.
Regarding the female research students, the figure for Physics was opposite in comparison with that of male students, which stood at 40 students. Similarly, the women students studying Astronomy and Geology experienced a negligible number, about 60 and 70 pupils, respectively. Meanwhile, the figure for Biology and Medicine accounted for a large number, accounting for over 225 pupils.
