“Push‐pull” factors influencing international student destination choice

“Push‐pull” factors influencing international student destination choice Examines the factors motivating international student choice of the host country. It describes a "push-pull" model motivating the student's desire to seek overseas education and influencing the decision process in selection of a final study destination. Drawing on the findings from research studies undertaken in Indonesia, Taiwan, China and India, the paper examines the factors influencing host country selection and additional research that examines the factors influencing choice of final host institution. Based on these findings the paper argues that economic and social forces within the home country serve to "push" students abroad. However, the decision as to which host country they will select is dependent on a variety of "pull" factors. After drawing together the findings, the paper then examines the implications for governments and education institutions seeking to recruit international students. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Educational Management Emerald Publishing
