, they achieved success rates of over 50% in six subjects, excluding International Law. Both groups were equally successful in Nursing and Accountancy, with accomplishment rates of just over 75% and 60% respectively. Besides
, they achieved almost the same proportion in English Literature, with just over 70% ( native speakers) and about 68% ( non-native speakers). Additionally
, international learners achieved the highest ratio of over 80% in the field of Information Technology, outperforming their UK counterparts.
On the other hand

80% of international learners excelled in Electrical Engineering, only 60% of native speakers thrived in this
particular field. Likewise

in international law, with success rates of 80% and 70% respectively.
