One in ten students in Moldova comes from abroad. Their number has reached a record level in the academic year 2025-2026 – 6,423 people, 667 more than the previous year. Economic expert Veaceslav Ionita believes that this segment has significant potential, but it remains insufficiently exploited, reports IPN.

The proportion of foreign students in the total university population has significantly increased in recent years, from 1.3% in 2010 to 10.2% in 2026. According to the IDIS “Viitorul” expert, attracting young people from other countries can contribute both to the financial consolidation of universities and to the improvement of education quality and the development of educational services export.

The majority of foreign students come from Romania – 56.4% of the total. This is followed by India, with 19%, Ukraine – 8.6%, Turkey – 6.9% and Israel – 6.7%.

Veaceslav Ionita asserts that the Republic of Moldova has several advantages in attracting international students, among which are the cultural and linguistic proximity to Romania, but also the possibility of developing training programs in Romanian for young people from other countries.

In the last two decades, the total number of students in the Republic of Moldova has decreased from about 128 thousand in 2006-2007 to 62,900 in 2025-2026. However, in the last two years, their number has increased by about 6,400, and approximately 20% of this increase was generated by the rise in the number of foreign students.
