The given bar chart illustrates the proportion of local students and foreign students at a university in Sydney between 1975 and 2015.
Overall, the number of Australian students witnessed a decrease, while there was an increase in the rate of students from the other nations. It is also obvious that the proportion of Australian students was much higher than the foreign students in the first few years of the period shown.
As can be seen that, the percentage of Australian students accounted for about 85% from 1975 to 1980, compared to 15% of international students. However, there was a gradual decline in the number of local students in 2000, from 85% to approximately a half, which was the same as the figure for foreign students. Moreover, the proportion of Australian students continued to go down considerably and was overtaken by the number of students from the other countries within a decade, beginning in 2005.
Meanwhile, there was a significant climb by nearly 20% in the rate of international students from 1985 to 2000. Additionally, the proportion of foreign students comprised over 50% in the year 2005, in comparison with approximately 45% of local students. After that, the number of students from the other countries experienced a sharp growth to around 75%, which was 50% higher than the figure for Australian students in 2015.
