The line chart illustrates the trends in the enrolment of international students across four Australian universities from the year 2000 to 2015.
Overall, University A exhibited the highest number of international students, while University D recorded the lowest enrolment figures throughout the period. Notably, all universities experienced an upward trajectory in student enrolment.
In 2000, University A commenced with approximately 10,000 international students, and this figure saw a substantial increase, peaking at around 16,000 by 2015. Similarly, University B started with a lower enrolment of about 4,000 students in 2000, but demonstrated a significant growth trend, culminating in approximately 14,000 students by the end of the period. This indicates that both universities had a robust rise in their international student populations over the fifteen-year span.
Conversely, University C began with fewer than 2,000 international students in 2000 and experienced a gradual increase, reaching roughly 8,000 students in 2015. University D initially had the least enrolment at around 1,000 students in 2000, with a steady rise that saw its numbers approach 6,000 by 2015. While both of these institutions exhibited growth, it was significantly less pronounced compared to those of Universities A and B.
