“…Several studies were conducted to investigate international students' experience while studying at a Hungarian university (Borodina, 2022, Tick et al, 2022, & Kéri, 2018. In a study conducted by Borodina (2022), the motivation of international students to study at a Hungarian university was explored with the help of a two-factor model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation proposed by the self-determination theory (SDT) of human motivation.…”

“…If a particular university knows what students are looking for, it is possible to work on delivering and highlighting those aspects in the marketing campaigns. Highlighted benefits promote higher education in Hungary, attracting more international students according to their needs (Maringe & Gibbs, 2009;Kéri, 2018). International education is an interesting research field not only because of its importance for many people and countries, but also because relatively little has been written on the marketing of education within international markets (Mazzarol, 1998).…”

Globalisation is driving the internationalisation of higher education, promoting open access to universities, enhancing educational programs with an international focus, and stronger presence in the international higher education market. Thus, globalisation stimulates the internationalisation of universities. For universities to attract international students successfully, it is necessary to understand general issues regarding the decision-making process. The study aims to analyse the benefits of studying abroad at a Hungarian university among international students. To fulfil the aim of this study, a questionnaire was administered to 100 international students, aged 18 to 38. The study results showed that international students had been looking for benefits while studying abroad, such as personal development, cultural experience, career prospects, and the possibility of travelling. Some benefits were also related to social and economic factors such as access to unique courses and knowledge, positive country image, safety situation, and affordable living costs in Hungary. The decision to study at a Hungarian university was made according to such benefits, including a desired program of study, comfortable facilities, flexible schedule, admission criteria, opportunity to improve English language skills, good reputation of the university, European degree, supportive environment, related costs, and future career prospects. At the same time, different age groups of international students considered the importance of benefits differently. Also, different groups of international students based on perceived social family status paid attention to different benefits. The findings of this study can be used for the promotion of Hungarian universities internationally to attract more international students with benefits that they look for when studying abroad.

“…Several studies were conducted to investigate international students' motivation to study in Hungary which can be related to intrinsic and extrinsic motivations (Khudur, 2019;Casas Trujillo, Mohammed, & Saleh, 2020;Kéri, 2018). In a study conducted by Khudur (2019) the motivation of Kurdish students to study in Hungary was explored with the help of an in-depth qualitative interview.…”

The Bologna Process facilitates students and staff mobility among 48 countries to bring more coherence to Higher Education systems across Europe (European Commission/EACEA/Eurydice, 2020). A great number of higher education institutions develop study abroad programs to attract more international students, but there is a systematic difference between students participating in such programs and thoese who are not, hence it is significantly important to get to know about international students’ motivation to study abroad. This study examined international students’ motivation using the two-factor model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation proposed by the self-determination theory (SDT) of human motivation. A questionnaire was administered to 100 international students, 46 males and 54 females, aged 19 to 37 to explore the motivation to attend a Hungarian university. The results of the study show that the respondents endorsed more items on intrinsic motivation, than on extrinsic motivation. There is a significant difference in motivation among bachelor, master, and doctorate students. Master students demonstrate a higher level of stimulation, external, and identified regulation compared to bachelor and doctorate students. International students experience high-quality motivation – intrinsic motivation during studying at a Hungarian university, perceive themselves to be acting with a sense of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The existing literature on international education mostly has focused on the skills and benefits students gain, but there has been limited research on international students' motivation. At the same time, knowledge about international students' motivation can be used in the program support and development which fits more to the motivational characteristics of international students.
