Sample Answer
The provided table illustrates full-time enrolment statistics regarding students from India across six distinct higher education institutions in the UK during two consecutive academic periods: 2020/21 and 2021/22.
What is immediately striking upon observing the depiction is the notable paradox exhibited among datasets: BPP University dominated student enrolment in the former year, came second to Coventry in the latter one, yet saw the lowest proportional increase ironically; Sheffield, by contrast, had consistently been the least preferred option, but demonstrated the most pronounced gain proportionally. Equally noteworthy is that all tertiary institutes recorded growth, albeit to differing magnitudes, with Coventry surpassing BPP to lead all universities during the period from 2021 to 2022.
Sheffield University reportedly recorded the most conspicuous percentile increase, with the enrolment figure nearly tripling from the lowest number during the first period (815) to 2,345 in the second term. Notwithstanding this pronounced proportional surplus, this university retained its position of lowest prominence – a net change of 1,530 students.
Coventry and Leicester followed subsequently in terms of proportional growth, reporting net changes of 121.3% and 103.4% respectively. The former commenced the first term welcoming 2,390 students from India – accounting for the third highest position, and this figure more than doubled a year later, ascending to the leadership position following a rise of 2,900. Leicester, meanwhile, rose more moderately enrolment-wise, doubling from 1,175 to 2,390 students (a change of 1,215 students).
Shifting attention to institutions with lower growth rates, the University of Greenwich led this cohort, reporting a rate of 84.9% (a gain of 2,085 students). This number was computed stemming from a nearly twofold rise from 2,455 to 4,540 students. BPP University, meanwhile, despite attracting most students in 2020/21 (3,505 students), grew the least at a modest 46.8% comparatively (or 1,640 more students) to reach 5,145 students in 2021/22 – descending to the second position. Lastly, Anglia Ruskin University started from the comparatively low baselines, rising by nearly 70% to attain 3,265 students in the latter timeframe – a net increase of 1,340 students.
