Analysis of data from university clearing service UCAS by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, has found that a record 6,310 UK women started a computing degree at UK universities in 2024, compared with 26,400 men.
And while this means that there are still 4.1 young men for every female counterpart studying computing degrees, that's a slight drop from a ratio of 4.2 to one in 2023
