The table and pie chart shows the number of research students in Australian universities in 2001 and 2010.
The table compares the number of students conducting research in Australian universities in 2001 and 2010. The pie charts illustrate the proportion of male and female national and international research students in the same years.
Overall, there was a strong growth in the number of students carrying out research. A significantly higher percentage of local students did research compared with international students.
In 2001, almost 39, 000 students conducted research in Australian universities, while only about 5, 000 of these were international students. In 2010, the number rose to over 54, 000 research students. This included a notable increase in international students, to a figure of approximately 14, 600.
The charts show that 87% of all research students in 2001 were local, however this figure fell to 73% in 2010. The percentage of international research students doubled, reaching 27% of the total in 2010. While the proportion of male and female local research students was equal in 2001, by 2010 there was a higher percentage of males to females, at 39% and 35% respectively. In 2001, the figures for international research students stood at 9% males and 4% females. However, the proportion of female international research students saw a striking increase to 15% in 2010, compared with a modest rise to 12% for males.
