    By Seeta Bhardwa
    The most popular undergraduate degrees among female students in the UK in 2016/17 were those allied to medicine, while the most popular subjects for male students were business and administrative studies.
    Course data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency were analysed by training course provider The Knowledge Academy to determine the most and least popular undergraduate courses in the UK in 2016/17.
    The most popular courses for female undergraduate students were those allied to medicine, with 136,215 students enrolled during the academic year. The second most popular choice was business and administration subjects.
    The least popular course for female students was veterinary science, with only 4,345 students choosing it.
    The most popular course chosen by male first-year undergraduates were business and administrative related subjects, with 119,515 enrolled students in 2016/17.
    The next most popular course for male students was engineering and technology. Following the same pattern as female students, again, the least popular course was veterinary science.
