1 Includes life science; physical science; mathematics/statistics; computer science; and engineering, manufacturing, and construction.

2 Refers to the mean of the data values for all reporting Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, to which each country reporting data contributes equally.

3 Includes data from another category.

NOTE: Data in this table refer to degrees classified as International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) 2011 level 6 (bachelor's or equivalent degree). Data for Luxembourg are not included because students generally attend no more than 1 year of higher education in Luxembourg and must complete their degrees in other countries. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
