Recent years, more and more European Students choose to study abroad. The data available suggests that there has been a significant movement of students within Europe for higher education. For instance, in 2021, a majority of the tertiary students from abroad in 15 of the EU Member States were from elsewhere in Europe, with the highest shares in Slovenia, Croatia, and Slovakia. The European Union has been cited as the world’s most popular destination for mobile students, as reported in the 2022 edition of Campus France's 'Key Figures', which aligns with the trend that almost 9 in 10 European students who studied abroad, chose to stay on the continent.
