International Student Mobility (ISM) is progressively becoming a signifi cant
aspect of the higher education scenario. The universal higher education milieu has
undergone a tremendous change due to ISM as the number of students going abroad
for higher education is growing incessantly with every passing year. Pakistan is a
developing country that has experienced increasing ISM in the last forty years.
Despite all academic and professional opportunities available to students, they
desire to go abroad for higher education and settle down there, causing brain
drain in the country. This research study attempts to identify the determinants of
international student mobility from the perspective of either students, who are in
the process of enrolling in international universities or those who are aspiring to
go abroad for higher studies. This study used qualitative research approach based
on interpretivism paradigm. A total of 14 students from different public and private
sector universities participated, out of which nine were male and fi ve were female
with ages between 18 and 24 years approximately. Thematic analysis was used toanalyze the subjective data. The fi ndings brought to light key academic, professional
and social motivations of individuals for studying abroad. These fi ndings can act
as a guideline for higher education institutions and national policy makers to draft
policies and strategies that might enable reversal of the vicious phenomena of brain
drain.
