    (2019) Sultanova A.
    The aim of this study is to explore and understand the factors that may impact the decision -making process of international students that motivate them to study as well as the choice of country and university in which they want to get education. It represents a ‘push-pull’ model that drives students to search education abroad and impacting the decision process in selecting of a final study destination. Drawing on the findings from research papers undertaken in multicountries current paper examines the factors influencing choice of host country. Based on these findings this study argues that economic and social factors within the home country ‘push’ students to seek education abroad. Nevertheless, the decision as to which country to choose depends on diversity of ‘pull’ factors.
