The international student mobility of students is one of the elements of internationalization and this mobility has increased in recent years, especially as higher education becomes more international. The mobility of talented students, especially top-ranked students, has been increased by internationalization. These students are one of the new sources of income in the countries where they have studied, with billions of dollars contributions. Countries have become more competitive in order to attract international students to their countries. The aim of this study is to provide a comparative overview of the mobility of international students in Turkey and its impact on the Turkish higher education system in this competitive environment and offer policymakers and practitioners suggestions in this regard. Data on international student mobility were collected from international studies, research, policy papers, legislative documents, national (YÖK) and international organizations (OECD) etc. and it was carried out in the form of a compilation study using the data obtained from the sources referred to.
