The line chart demonstrates how many international students studied at a British University over a 20-year period, starting from 1995.
Overall, the quantity of Asian and North American students increased, with that of Asian students registering a substantial growth. The figure for students from Africa and Europe, however, remained more or less the same. It is also worth noting that Asians topped the list with the highest number of students throughout the span, yet the reverse was true for students from Africa.
Looking at the increases first, standing at 60 initially, the count of Asian students saw a gradual increase, doubling to 120 in 2015. Similarly, the number of North American undergraduates started at 40 and remained stable with a slight dip in 2005 before rising sharply to around 70 in the last year.
The figures for students from the remaining continents, however, remained unchanged. The quantity of European undergraduates made up about 50 in 1995, after which this number fluctuated, rising to just under 60 in two years: 2000 and 2010, and declining to approximately 50 again in the final year. The count of African students, in the meantime, stood at 20 for a decade and reached its peak at 30 in 2010 before decreasing by 10 after 5 years.
