The number of students choosing to study computing at higher education level in the U.K. rose last year.
Figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) show that the number of students enrolled in U.K. undergraduate computer science courses increased by 2% between the academic years of 2013-14 and 2014-15, while the number of undergraduates choosing to study engineering and technology courses rose by 3%.
There was also a rise in students taking other science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects. "There was an overall increase of 1% in full-time first-year enrollments in 2014 to 2015 and a 3% increase in science subjects," the HESA report said.
However, the number of women choosing to study computing at university level has barely changed from 2014 to 2015, remaining at about 15%, which it has been for the past few years.
