Highlights:

• Girls who are heavy gamers are more likely to study a physical STEM degree.

• Playing multiplayer games is associated with studying a physical STEM degree.

• The studying of physical STEM degrees is dependent on level of social deprivation.

• Girls are 58 times less likely to do a physical STEM degree than no degree at all.

• Levels of participation in video gaming can change for girls over a year.
