Abstract (max. 250 words):
On average, 67 thousand students in Hungarian higher education institutions receive their degrees each year. The total number of students can be divided into three categories: born Hungarian citizens, Hungarian students with dual citizenship, and finally the group of non-Hungarian (international) students. The number and proportion of these groups went through significant changes during the period under review. The number of students born in Hungary decreased, however the number of members of the latter two clusters had multiplied and their proportion increased. This study – based on data provided by the Office of Higher Education Information Systems of the Office of Education – provides an overview of the overall graduated student population over the past seven years in the Hungarian higher education and the main reasons for the change in its composition, particularly for the proportional changes of international and dual nationality students. During my work, I considered the geographical location of the selected institutions, as well as the training area and levels of training, as criteria for the research.
