Hi Daniel
I have some suggestions for your paragraph 1

The given pie charts depict data on the changes in the number of degrees grantedThe pie charts illustrates comparison of the degrees granted percentages in 4 different fields of study (Law, Medicine, Business and Computer Science) at the National University in 1990, 2000 and 2010 during 30 years period.It is clear that the most degrees were granted was Computer Sciences than others in all of the times. On the other hand, business always experienced downward trend.

This is my suggestion for your second paragraph:

Overall, it can be seen that there was a slight increase in proportion of Computer Science while Business field showed the reverse.Both Medicine and Law remained stable at the end of period.

I hope this will help to develop your sentences.
Thanks

2nd paragraph:
- I think it is better if you put the second paragraph to be a part of first paragraph because your first paragraph is only consist of one sentence.

Overall, I am very like with your essay. I hope we can learn together about IELTS some day. Thank you and good luck for us :)
