The graph illustrates the number of international students attending at a UK university between 1995 and 2015.
Overall, the graph highlights significant upward trends in both Asia and North America, while the trends for Africa and Europe stayed unchanged despite small changes over a period spanning from 1995 and 2015. Another interesting point is that Asia consistently had the highest number of students throughout the period.
Looking at the details for Asia, it started the period at 60 in 1995. At this point, the figure surged, finishing at 120 in 2015, which was the biggest number during the whole period – marking a two-fold increase. In a similar manner, America remained almost unchanged until 2010, then rose sharply in the last five years, reaching 70 in 2015.
By contrast, there were almost no changes in the number of students from Africa and Europe. Despite small fluctuations, the figures remained at 20 for Africa and 50 for Europe, matching their initial numbers.
