Definition of an international student What do we meant when we say international degree student ? A student who did not follow secondary education in the Netherlands prior to their start in higher education A student who does not posses the Dutch nationality This means that 14,344 homecoming students are not counted as international students (2018) Data is retrieved from the central education register, which is administrated by the ministry of Education, Culture and Science
Stay rate Main question: How many international students are still living and/or working in the Netherlands after they graduated? Policy relevance: - A positive effect on the Gross domestic product - Shortages for skilled workers on the labour market
