Abstract

Intra-regional cooperation between emerging developing countries has represented a clear shift away from Western models of internationalization since the year 2000. As a result, more international students prefer to have higher education in countries geographically and culturally close to them. This paper aims to explore international student mobility in the context of source and destination countries/continents. Additionally, the situation of Türkiye in terms of intra-regional student mobility was also revealed and several practical implications were also discussed for the country. According to the findings, while the total share of the United States of America and the United Kingdom has decreased considerably, there have been several emerging destinations like Australia, Canada, China, and Türkiye. Türkiye has entered the global top ten destination countries through attracting international tertiary students mostly from the nearby regions.
