The chart illustrates the enrolment at Sheffield University among Iranian, Greek, and Turkish students throughout a four-year period, starting from 2005.
Overall, it is evident that while the university witnessed a boom of learners from Iran and Turkey, those from Greece significantly declined. Nevertheless, Greece had the highest quantity of students entering it in 2005, concurrently, the reverse number belonged to Turkey.
To elaborate, in the first year surveyed, a staggering figure of 180 Greeks enrolled at Sheffield University, which was four times as much as that of the following country – Iran with almost 40 students, whereas only 20 from Turkey were entitled to study in this school. In 2006, Iran and Turkey’s total count of learners slightly grew, to 60 and approximately 50 respectively. Contrariwise, the same year showed a decrease in Greek students enrolling, fewer than the previous year by merely 20 learners
Strikingly enough, in 2007, those from Greece plummeted to 70, equal to Turkey. At the same time, growth was witnessed in the remaining countries, with Turkey having 70 students and 90 from Iran. Subsequently, throughout the last two years surveyed, a similar pattern was repeated, as both Iran and Turkey reached an estimated 85 in 2008, rocketing to 120 and 160 in the exact order the following year, whereas Greece bottomed out at 45 students.
