At first glance, it is shown that the total number of exchange students in Europe to Australia

experienced an upward trend, while that for Australia to Europe remained stable, albeit the
imbalance in exchange flows. Additionally, more volumes in Europe to Australia than vice
versa.

The given table compares the shifts in the number of undergraduate students in five given
countries, namely (Germany, France, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Sweden) from
Europe to Australia and vice versa in the course of 2 years from 2007 to 2009.

In the top table (Europe to Australia), there was a dramatic growth of 36 in the number of
students in Germany, making it the largest contributor in 2009 with the figure being 63 in
2009. While the volumes of students for the UK saw a slight decrease from 31 to 25,
reaching the lowest figure among all five countries. During the questioned period, the
students of France saw a slight decrease by 1, whereas the undergraduate students in The
Netherlands remained stagnant at 36.

In the bottom table ( Australia to Europe), there was a marginal rise of 21 in France,
compared to 8 in that for Germany. In stark contrast, a significant disparity could be seen in
the data of The Netherlands with a decrease of 14, while the figures for the UK and the
Netherlands dropped by 9 and 14 students, respectively.
