Uluslararası öğrenci hareketliliğinin öğrenci gönderen ve ağırlayan ev sahibi ülkelerin eğitim sistemine, ekonomisine, uluslararası bilimsel proje ortaklıklarına ve üniversitelerinin kalitesine pozitif katkıları vardır. Uluslararası öğrenci hareketliliği, özellikle öğrenci ağırlayan ev sahibi ülkenin ekonomisine doğrudan önemli katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu nedenle, uluslararası öğrenci hareketliliğinden daha fazla pay almak isteyen ülkeler arasında kıyasıya rekabet yaşanmaktadır. Türkiye'de yükseköğretim sektöründeki potansiyelini değerlendirerek pazar payını artırmak çabasındadır. Bu kapsamda, bu çalışmanın amacı, uluslararası öğrenci hareketliliğinde Türkiye'nin mevcut durumunu kapsamlı bir şekilde ortaya koymak ve ilgililere bu kapsamda önerilerde bulunmaktır. Araştırmada, 2000-2012 yıllarında Türkiye'deki ve dünyadaki öğrenci hareketliliğindeki eğilim ve 2013 yılında Türkiye'ye gelen uluslararası öğrenci sayıları incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Türkiye'nin yükseköğretim sektöründeki uluslararası öğrenci hareketliliğinde önemli bir yere sahip olduğu söylenebilir. Bunun yanında, Türkiye'ye en çok uluslararası öğrenci Azerbaycan, Türkmenistan ve KKTC'den gelmektedir.
