The graphs below show the enrolments of overseas students and local students in Australian universities over a ten year period. bYb36

The graph provides data about how many international students and native students registered in Australian unuversities between 2001 and 2010. Initially, the total number of overseas students was roughly 20000 and in the following years it soared rapidly, reaching its peak in 2010 (just over 80000 students). Likewise, the figure of local students increased, but more gradually. By around 2003 it had risen to about 50000 students, after which their number went up to its highest figure in 2007(approximately 600000 students) and then it leveled off. On the other hand, between 0 and 20000 international students started attending Australian universities in the years between 2001 and 2006. However, after 2006 their number witnessed a significant growth, peaking at just above 40000 students in the years from 2009 to 2010. The figure of native students commencing universtity in Australia followed a similiar pattern until 2002 when it jumped up to 200000 students. Despite that, it experienced a steady drop, which continued to 2006. By 2008 the number of local students starting their higher education had increased again to roughly the same figure as in 2008, but in spite of this fact, it dipped slightly to about 200000 at the end of the ten-year period. Overall, the total number of overseas students and those of them who were starting their further education showed an upward trend throught the entire period. Whereas the whole number of native students also followed this trend, those of them who were commencing made an exception as their figure tended to fluctuate.
