female/male ratio in computer science courses?

Original post by Tx_redcore

Just wondering, since i'm going to be an international student in england next year, and there are often cultural differences between countries. What is the female/male ratio in computer science courses?

I'd say 9:1

I guess you're meaning 1:9, as i don't expect it to be nine girls to one guy XD

11% female

The national average is only 17% female and you won't find many universities with over 20% female CS students.

I wouldn't worry about it though, there are only 2 girls in a class of 14 on my college computing course and they barely even talk to each other. They get on just fine with the guys they're friends with on the course. You'll end up making friends with ever you end up making friends with regardless of gender.

wasn't really worrying was just wondering, most of my friends are guys anyway. I was just imagining me walking into class, and the whole class staring in pure shock(i'm exaggerating here) of there being a female in there class. It has just amazed me sometimes of how surprised people can be by the fact that i am interested in topics like computer science, gaming and martial arts. And sometimes cultures are really different. As far as i understand you are depicted rude in england if you for example don't hold up doors or thank them for it. While this almost never happen here. You are actually depicted exceptionally nice if you do that because people aren't used to it.

Well, there's no one in my year who is female and doing computer science except one of our teachers.Of course, if that happened, it would probably turn into a "Why is the dishwasher in our class" as a select few in my class would probably say.

Overwhelming amount of male students tbh.

Was probably like 12 guys to 1 girl at my uni (City University)

You can see ratios on WhichUni.

11% of students studying CS at chester are female however 68% of students at the uni are female so take that as you will

Computing Science at Huddersfield here, in our lectures that have numerous computer related degrees in them, current count is about 95 males to 3 females, no joke :P
