Band 7+: The graph compares the percentages of international and the percentage of UK students gaining second class degrees or better at a major UK university.

The bar chart illustrates the percentage of UK and international students who gained second-class degrees or better in 2019.

In general, the differentiation between them was not very significant. For instance, the nursing students got an exactly equal percentage of just over 70 percent. In contrast, in some cases, the differentiation was high. In the International Technology subject, the UK students gained significantly less rank compared with foreign students, at less than 60%.

Having a broader view of the bar chart reveals that only in three subjects did international students triumph, and in two subjects, they got equal marks (like Accountancy at 60%). Furthermore, in some fields like English Literature, which was comfortable for UK students owing to the fact that English was probably their mother tongue, they gained higher ranks. Moreover, the highest percentage belonged to the international students who gained more than 85%, and the lowest percentage was nearly 50% gained by them.

To sum up, in two majors, the two examined groups gained the same rank, and in the other subjects except two, the UK students had higher ranks
