Eduversification - The next decade of student mobility

Eduversification - The next decade of student mobility

By Daria Simonova

Eduversification - The next decade of student mobility

Analysing historical cases of outbound student flow shifts over the past decade, we have tracked that changes typically occurred within the "Big Four" study destinations.

However, recent regulations and policies indicate a far more fundamental transformation - one likely to shape the sector’s development over the next decade.

Together with my team at BONARD Education, we have prepared a long-read on this shift: a trend that emerged in 2024, solidified in 2025, and is now moving into 2026-27.

While the full economic impact (read "losses") for the top destinations is still being assessed, this transformation creates significant opportunities for future educational hubs to:

  • Invest in local educational infrastructure;

  • Attract and retain international talent in their workforce;

  • Build stronger cultural and economic ties globally.

If you would like an opportunity assessment for your sector or institution, our data-driven approach and in-house intelligence can help you:

  • Diversify international student recruitment efforts;

  • Estimate addressable source markets and ROI;

  • Build actionable, step-by-step market entry strategies;

  • Reconnect with the right stakeholders and audiences;

  • and much more.
