[…] Graduates completing a full degree in a country different from their country of origin now constitutes 8.4% of all graduates from these education levels in the EU (an increase of 1.3 percentage points from 2017). […] More than two out of three (71.0%) inbound degree-mobile bachelor’s and master’s graduates originated in countries outside the EU.“
