International students are those students who chose to undertake all or part of their tertiary education in a country other than their own and move to that country for the purpose of studying.[1] In 2016, there were nearly 5.1 million internationally mobile students (i.e. 2.3% of all tertiary students), up from 2.1 million in 2000.[2] The United States and United Kingdom attracted one-third of all international students in 2000, falling to 28% in 2016
