Inbound Mobility Rate, Tertiary 2022

Report year 2022·Data year 2022

Inbound mobility rate, tertiary (%)·Higher is better — rank 1 leads·Published by UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS)

26 editions (1999–2024), 60 to 115 countries. The share of a country’s own tertiary enrolment made up of students who came from abroad — how far a country’s universities pull people across borders, which is why it sits in Mobility & Connectivity rather than education alone. Female and male rates are stored beside the headline figure. ⚠ INBOUND, NOT OUTBOUND. This says who comes in, not who leaves; UIS publishes an outbound ratio too and it is a different question, not imported here. ⚠ READ THE TOP OF THE TABLE WITH CARE: the rate is a share of a country’s OWN tertiary system, so a very small system fills up from abroad easily — San Marino leads 2024 at 87%, which says more about the size of its universities than about its pull. ⚠ UIS ranks nobody, so no rank is stored; the POSITION on the statistics page is derived here by ordering the score and labelled as ours.
