If the predictions come true, the number of international students in higher professional education (HBO) will rise from 42,000 now to 45,000 in 2030. This will be due mainly to more students coming from outside Europe.<\/p>\n

Academic universities will attract even more, the officials predict. In their forecast, the number of European university students will increase from 66,000 in 2023 to 86,000 in 2030. For students from outside Europe, the figure will rise from 25,800 to 33,500.<\/p>\n\n\t
