Debates on international students often focus on capacity, funding, or competition.

My paper shows the main effects on natives are not academic or economic, but social

I gave an interview about my paper on the impact of internationalisation in the Netherlands. We discussed findings showing that studying with international students makes natives more culturally open and internationally oriented, without compromising their local economic success.

‘Studenten die met internationals hebben gestudeerd lijken ook echt meer open te staan voor de rest van de wereld, en verhuizen bijvoorbeeld significant vaker naar het buitenland.’ https://t.co/mcxziCiYaK

Trouw published an article about my paper on the impact of international students on native students in the Netherlands

https://t.co/6kuXuceevi

[Stanislav Avdeev @stnavdeev]

The article discusses findings from my recent research showing that exposure to international students during university has lasting effects on social cohesion and attitudes with no negative effects on the labor market outcomes.

@litetalker @AmirGrinstein 4. Students often continue into master’s and PhD programs after completing their bachelor’s here.

[Stanislav Avdeev @stnavdeev]

@litetalker @AmirGrinstein 1. Yes, tuition fees are the same for all EU countries.
2. Some programs are taught in Dutch and others in English, at bachelor’s and master’s levels.
3. In 2019 (the last year I analysed), tuition fees were about €2,000 per year for Dutch/EU students and €12,000 for non-EU.

[Stanislav Avdeev @stnavdeev]

@litetalker @AmirGrinstein It’s a mix: some programs lack enough domestic students, non-EU students pay higher fees, NL relies on international talent for its knowledge economy. EU mobility makes it easy to study here, tuition is low vs. other English-taught countries, and the quality of education is high

[Stanislav Avdeev @stnavdeev]

@litetalker @AmirGrinstein For context, the overall share of international students in tertiary education is 13.7% in the Netherlands, 12.7% in Germany, and 10.1% in Belgium. Source: https://t.co/MIhNBYkDtm

[Stanislav Avdeev @stnavdeev]

@litetalker @AmirGrinstein The figure I’ve shared is from my paper and shows the share of international students among first-year students in bachelor’s programs. The share is higher in master’s and PhD programs.

[Stanislav Avdeev @stnavdeev]

@litetalker @AmirGrinstein Most international students come from other European countries, with Germans and Belgians forming the largest groups

[Stanislav Avdeev @stnavdeev]

Policy takeaway

Much of the policy debate focuses on restricting international student inflows. However, such limits may carry societal costs: reduced cultural openness, weaker social integration, and no offsetting gains in the labor-market outcomes of local students.

Effects depend on context

Social-integration gains are largest in:
- Non-STEM fields
- Larger programs
- Programs with more gender balance
- Exposure to international students from culturally proximate European countries.
