Student Mobility and the Internationalization of Higher Education: National Policies and Strategies from Six World Regions

Over the last decade, the number of students studying outside of their home country grew at an unprecedented rate. While most of the traditional host countries are seeing the numbers of international students continue to rise, newly emerging hosts in the developing world have entered the competitive higher education market and are re-mapping the unidirectional flow of global talent. Student Mobility and the Internationalization of Higher Education is a compilation of reports on student mobility trends and internationalization policies in six world regions. It includes the latest data on inbound and outbound students in 17 countries and highlights national and institutional strategies for internationalizing higher education. Each of the country sections is authored by a national academic mobility research institution or organization privy to in-depth knowledge of their country's internationalization strategies.
