Finally, together, math and physics accounted for just under one third, and they were both 17 percent and 15 percent respectively.In contrast to Zayed University, the maximum percentage at the UAEU, which was exactly twice as much as at Zayed, was physics at 30 percent. The lowest was biology at 9 percent. On the other hand, the most popular subject at Sharjah University, which was Arabic, was 32 percent, and this was similar to Zayed. Furthermore, exactly twice as many students chose biology compared to Zayed. Finally, the minimum percentage, which was 5 percent, was for physics. ................
