The graph compares the percentage of international and the percentage of UK students gaining second class degrees or better at a major UK university.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features.
The bar chart presents a comparison data between the percentages of
UK
and international
students
who achieved second class or higher degree from a
UK
university
in 2009. It is quite obvious that more international
students
gained
degrees
from engineering and technology majors than local British
students
. Now getting back to the details, local
UK
students
predominated the international
students
in terms of completing their second class or higher
degrees
from that particular
university
except in engineering and IT faculty.
For instance
, around 80% of
UK
students
got their
degrees
in sociology, art history and literature
while
the percentages of international
students
who achieved honours from the same subjects ranged from 65-70%. More foreign
students
dominated in majors related to engineering and information technology and approximately 10% more foreign
students
passed from these two majors than the local
students
who got their
degrees
from these faculties in the same year. Interestingly, almost an equal proportion of local and international
students
got their degree in nursing (roughly 78%) and accountancy (exactly 60%).
Finally
, merely 50% of international
students
gained their
degrees
in international law at
this
university
against around 70% of local
students
which represents the largest gap between the ratio of local and international degree-holding
students
in
this
university
.
