In 2023, higher education in the European Union has seen a remarkable increase in the presence of international students, reaching a total of 1.76 million, which represents 8.4% of the total student population in the region. This rise underscores the growing interest of students from various parts of the world in European educational institutions, which are considered highly attractive destinations for their academic training.
Luxembourg stands out as the leading country in the proportion of foreign students, with an impressive rate of 52.3% of its tertiary education student body. Malta and Cyprus follow on the list, with 29.6% and 22.3%, respectively. In contrast, Greece (3.0%), Croatia (3.7%), and Spain (4.3%) rank among the nations with the lowest representation of international students.
An interesting aspect is the predominance of students from other European countries in 20 member states, where this group constitutes the majority of international students. Slovakia notably shines, with an astounding 91.3% of its foreign student population coming from other European nations, followed by Slovenia (89.4%) and Croatia (89.0%).
Regarding the geographical origins of students, a significant trend emerges with an increasing number of Asian students enrolling in European institutions. Ireland, Finland, Germany, and Italy report substantial percentages of their international student body coming from Asia, with figures ranging from 36% to 45%.
France, meanwhile, has a distinctive profile, with more than half of its international students coming from Africa, reaching 52.3%. Portugal reflects a similar trend, with 42.1% of its international student population originating from Africa. In contrast, Spain presents a different picture, where a large portion of its foreign students (46.7%) comes from the Caribbean, Central, and South America.
This diverse landscape in higher education highlights the importance of student mobility and the growing cultural interconnection in Europe. Educational institutions not only provide academic training but also foster a rich multicultural environment for students from around the world.
