Elizabeth Redden's summary of international student flows throughout the world paints a picture of gradual shifts from the two previous preferred destinations, the U.K. and the U.S.A., to other countries such as Canada and Australia. The trends also include declining full degree program study to short term, or study abroad, experiences.
The reasons for shifts are complicated and often relate to the conditions/climate in a specific country. One change to the higher education landscape is the presence of new regional providers that require less travel, expense, and may be a more comfortable fit from a cultural perspective. The U.K. and U.S.A. will need to be creative in addressing the reasons for enrollment shifts if they want to remain competitive and retain their preferred status.
