The table compares data concerning the number of
students
 enrolled at the University of
Manchester
 in 1937, 1967 and 2017, their gender distribution and their original region.
It is clear that
 enrolment has increased considerably over the period shown, and the figure for
students
 coming to
Manchester
 from far afield has continued to rise. The proportion of female
students
 has once fallen in 1967 but rose again in 2017,
however
, male
students
 show just the opposite tendency. In 1937, only 327
students
 enrolled at
Manchester
 University and the gender distribution was relatively balanced, with 45% female
students
 and 55% male
students
. Over time, the number of new
students
 almost tripled in 1967 and reached 6,254 in 2017. In 1967, a fluctuation can be seen in the ratio of male to female
students
, with 65% of new
students
 being male, but in 2017 a decrease of 20% was seen .
While
 55% of new
students
 lived near
Manchester
 in 1937,
this
 percentage continued to decline, with only 1-2% of freshmen coming from a nearby region in 2017.
On the other hand
,
in contrast
 to the situation in 1937, more
students
 came from other parts of the world. And the proportion of foreign
students
 rose sharply in 2017, from 6% in 1937 to 32% in 2017.
