Figure of the day: 13%

of full-time students at Russian universities in 2014 had intentions of studying abroad. A year earlier, the figure was 20%. These data were obtained in a survey of students at institutions of higher education that was carried out as part of a Monitoring of Education Markets and Organisations study conducted by HSE in collaboration with the Levada Centre in 2014.

17% of students intended to work abroad; in 2013, the figure was 29%. Also decreasing (from 41% to 34%) was the percentage of those who planned to obtain a second advanced degree in Russia.

The results of the study will be published in a newsletter in 2015.
