Mobility patterns between freely selectable countries and world regions
What are the mobility patterns among students travelling between Germany and selected countries in the Asia-Pacific region? Which regions produce the most and the fewest international students in the USA, Canada and Australia? And what is the pattern of student mobility between the United Kingdom and the most important EU countries? With our interactive chart on mobility patterns between (freely selectable) countries and world regions, you can answer these questions with just a few clicks, based on UNESCO student statistics. Simply select up to ten countries or world regions as the origin (left side) and up to ten countries or world regions as the destination (right side).
First, decide which units (countries or world regions) should be considered for the origin (left side) and destination (right side) of internationally mobile students and set the two sliders under ‘Select origin’ and ‘Select destination’ accordingly. Different units can be selected for origin and destination, i.e. countries and world regions can also be combined as units for origin and destination. Then select the desired countries or world regions as origin or destination from the drop-down menu. A maximum of ten countries or world regions can be selected as origin or destination. Once you have made your selection, click on the ‘Apply settings’ button to confirm. The figure with your desired mobility patterns will then be generated and displayed for the most recent reporting year available. The exact number of internationally mobile students accounted for by one of the mobility flows displayed is shown when the mouse is moved over the respective flow.
If you want to display the same mobility pattern for previous years, you can change the data status using the ‘Year’ slider. You can choose from UNESCO student statistics data since 2016. After selecting the relevant year, you must confirm your selection again by clicking on the ‘Apply settings’ button. The figure will then be regenerated and displayed.
By clicking on the three lines in the upper right corner of the figure, you can download the data as an image or Excel data file (the images are subject to a Creative Commons licence of the type CC-BY-SA). By clicking on the ‘Table’ tab at the top left of the figure, you can also view the data as a table. Using the four round icons to the left of the world map graphic, you can link to the page on social media (Facebook, X, LinkedIn) or send it as a link via email.
Tip for advanced users: Under ‘Additional settings’, you can enable or disable the filling in of individual missing values with the respective previous year’s values (default setting: On).
