The two graphs show student enrolment trends over a ten-year period, from 2000-2010, inAustralian universities. Overall, the two graphs clearly demonstrate increasing demand for Australian university education by overseas students (increasing 400%) with a significantly smaller increase by local students (just 50%) for this period.The first graph clearly shows that new overseas students continue to enrol in Australian universities. In 2010 there were approximately 80,000 overseas students (around half ofwhom were new students). The rate of increase in the number of international students has been dramatic, doubling every five years, from just under 9,000 in 2000, to 10,00 in 2005 and

then over 20,000 in 2010.The local student population was around 600,000 in 2010,200,000 of which were new students. Thus, new students comprised 33% of the local total, which represents a significant decline from 50% ten years before. The trends clearly demonstrate that growth can be expected to continue from overseas students but not for local students.
