The provided table gives information about the figures for two groups of research students in a number of universities in Australia between 2001 and 2010. The pie chart also illustrates engagement between the two genders from these groups. Overall, it seemed that both brackets displayed an upward trajectory in quantity after a decade, the most notable of which was reported among international students. In addition, there were more men who take part in research compared to their counterparts.
A first glance of the table reveals that the figures for students who remain locally were by far the dominant group regardless of the timeframe, with nearly 33,700 students compared to just a mere of 5,000 students for international students in 2001. Despite insignificant numbers, the latter witnessed a remarkable growth to approximately 15,000 students in 2014.
In terms of the pie chart, while Australian students accounted for the largest share with almost 90%, foreign students who conduct research remained a minor portion of just 13%. However, the trend started to falter with more percentage for students from other countries, representing nearly 30% after 10 years with more females. It is also worth noticing that male students tend to outnumber their counterpart in both years.
