The EMN Study on Immigration of International Students to the EU provides an overview of the immigration and mobility policies that are currently being implemented by the (Member) States to allow international students to enter into the EU for the purposes of study and where necessary, to move within the EU, also for the purpose of study. Such policies aim to both actively attract international students whilst at the same time preventing misuse of the international student route to migration. The study focuses on the migration of international students to the EU, including those who have progressed through several courses of study, for example, from a first to a second degree course. It does not include migrants who come to the EU for another purpose, even if they subsequently decide to undertake a course of study.
