THE last decade has seen a dramatic increase across the globe in the number of students seeking an international study experience.
Indeed, the latest available statistics from UNESCO indicate that there were over 5.3 million international students in 2017, up from just 2 million in the year 2000 (UNESCO, 2019). More than half of them were enrolled in just six countries: the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, France, Germany and the Russian Federation.
