Abstract: In this paper we revealed the factors determining the attractiveness of national higher education systems and then estimated their influence on the foreign students’ flows between 129 countries for period 1998-2005. We found that among the education policy-making determinants “Number of national higher educational institutions in the Academic Ranking of World Universities” in host country and “R&D expenditure” in source and host countries the most impact foreign students’ flows. The presences of “Common border”, “Common language”, “Colonial ties in the past” seem to be important predictors of the expanding foreign students’ flows. “Distance” negatively influences on the foreign students’ mobility. As well our results indicate that there is no presence of close relationship between previous migration flows and foreign students’ flows.
