The bar chart compares the numbers of home (British) and international students, divided by gender, who studied Computer Science at a UK university between 2010 and 2012.
Overall, home students consistently outnumbered international students in both genders throughout the period. In addition, the figures for women showed a steady upward trend, whereas the data for men fluctuated before rising sharply in 2012. By the end of the period, enrolments had increased markedly for almost all groups.
In 2010, around 40 male home students studied Computer Science, compared with approximately 20 international male students. The number of male home students then fell significantly to about 25 in 2011, equalling the figure for international males. However, both groups experienced substantial growth in 2012, reaching roughly 45 and 40 students respectively.
A similar but more consistent increase can be seen among female students. In 2010, there were about 35 home female students and 15 international female students. The number of home females rose steadily to approximately 45 in 2011 and peaked at around 50 in 2012. Meanwhile, international female enrolments grew gradually from 15 to 20 and then to 25 over the three-year period.
In summary, while home students formed the majority in every year, the most notable growth occurred among female students and international males by 2012.
