The table and pie charts give information about the number of research students at Australian universities in 2001 and 2010.

Overall, the higher figure among the two years was recorded in the number of research students at Australian universities in 2010. Moreover, the proportions of local students attended to Australian universities were higher than the figure of international research students in which the local male students took up the largest percentages.
