Resumo

Over recent decades, the internationalization of universities has become a global norm. Tertiary student mobility literature identifies push-pull factors driving cross-border flows, but does it explain why developed countries dominate as destinations while emerging ones, the Global South, export students? Using Ordinary Least Squares multiple regression, we analyzed pull factors influencing inbound students across emerging countries. Our findings highlight the significant role of geopolitical factors, with language, academic excellence, migrant networks, and hosting capacity also positively affecting student inflows.
