Within the top ten sending places of origin, nearly two-thirds of all international students studying in Australia come from Asia. In 2007, China, India, and Malaysia accounted for roughly 47 percent of all international enrollments. Australia in recent years has been one of the top destinations for studying abroad. International students often choose to pursue degrees in business and management, mathematics and computer science. (The figures below do not reflect offshore enrollments.)
