The given bar graph compares the second-class degrees or better gained by UK and foreign students across specifically eight disciplines at a UK university in 2009, expressed at percentages.
At first glance, home students make up a particularly large proportion of the student group achieving degrees in art and social science-related subjects while international students have a stronger presence in technology-related fields.
In detail, majors related to living things namely literature, art history, law, and sociology were dominated by UK students, among which the gap was least pronounced in sociology, conversely, it was impressively high in International law, with 6% and 12% of each gap, respectively.
At the specified timeframe, it is conspicuous that there were substantially more second-class degrees or better in IT earned by overseas alumni than domestic groups, with the former’s participation accounting for over 80% and below 60% of the latter’s. This was also true of the Electrical Engineering major. Another striking feature of the chart is that equality in number could be observed in the proportion of nursing and accounting degree results in both groups, standing at sharply 74% and 60% each in 2009.
