The chart shows the fluctuations in the numbers of international students attending the Sydney International Language Centre in 2001.

At the start of the year numbers were quite high at 170, this was because there were a large number of students referred to take the course as part of the University Preparation Programme. The student population remained the same until the end of February. In both April and May, 15 extra students enrolled into ELI courses. There was a sharp increase in June when 20 new students entered UP courses.

In July there was only an increase of five students as the Winter course intake was at the end of July and this was too late for students who were entering university in the second semester. In comparison to the first semester, there was a sharp drop in numbers as 50 students left, leaving only 135 students in ELI for August. From here until the end of the year there was a steady rise in student numbers to a peak of 180 in December.

Overall it shows a steady growth when compared to the 2000 enrolments of the Sydney International Language Centre in 2001 .
