Write a short summary of the research’s main findings and how this work has moved the field forward.
Major issues
This research touches on the issue of importance both locally and globally as education is now accessible in this global village. The contribution of the international students to the Australian Universities and analysis of regions they come from provide insights with relation to global goals such as SDGs. The study also suggests on how host countries need to have a global view of the courses they offer. Universities should not only focus on local education needs but also offer global solutions.
Minor issues
The study could have analysed data with a 5-10year trend so as to give a more clearer picture of the enrolment direction considering the disturbances of COVID 19.
Data on the Australian scholarships offered to international students could also have assisted in assessing contribution of the Australian universities.
A further recommendation of future research on the employment opportunities for international students is key.
