Academic migration and its influence on the social development of countries (on the example of the National University „Ostroh Academy”)

Abstract

Academic migration as the most developed form of internationalization of the educational sphere promotes the integration of the individual into the international educational community. It promotes the development of intercultural competencies, increases the chances for higher professional self─realization of students and teachers, increasing their professionalism in teaching, research and self─government. The article highlights the difference between such concepts as "academic migration" and "student migration". The main causal links between academic migration and the economy of host countries have been identified. A survey of the educational society of the National University "Ostroh Academy" analyzed the attitudes of students and teachers regarding study and internship abroad.
