本研究的目的是更好地了解全球高等教育国际化进程中国际学生流动的动态，评估其对不同国家和地区高等教育的影响，并建立行动框架。研究的重点是寻求学位的国际学生。鉴于我们已经研究了学生流入和流出的情况，我们使用了“国际学生流动”一词。关于学生流动的现有假设是，主要是南北流动和北北流动，南南流动相当有限;学生流动主要是经济原因，几乎不存在其他原因;国家和国际高等教育提供者的日益增多以及远程教育机会的增加将减少国际学生流动的需要。在这项研究的基础上，我们对这三个假设提出了质疑。
The purpose of this study was to develop a better understanding of the dynamics of international student circulation in the process of higher education’s internationalization in global context, to assess its implications for higher education in different nations and regions, and to create a framework for action. The focus of the study is on degree-seeking international students. Given the fact that we have examined student flows both inward and outward, we have used the term “international student circulation.” Existing assumptions about student mobility are that it is primarily South-North and North-North, and that South-South flows are rather marginal; that student mobility is dominated by economic rationales to the extent that virtually no other rationales exist; and that the growing presence of national and international providers of higher education, as well as opportunities for distance education will reduce the need for international student mobility. On the basis of this study, we questioned all three assumptions.
