“…Future policies and interventions should consider alternative strategies to prepare international graduates ‐ as well as local graduates—for the labour market; improving work experience in the final year of study is likely to be a step in the right direction, as also identified in prior research (Blackmore et al, 2014, 2017). Importantly, future policies and interventions need to also acknowledge and tackle broader structural barriers known to restrict the participation of international graduates in the labour market, including racism, xenophobia and stereotypes among Australian employers (Blackmore et al, 2014, 2017; Cameron et al, 2019; Coffey et al, 2021; Robertson, 2011; Tran & Vu, 2016).…”

“…Temporary residency status as well as a lack of work readiness and local discipline‐related work experience are also found to have contributed to their poor outcomes (Blackmore et al, 2017; Hawthorne & To, 2014; Li & Miller, 2013). More recently, there has been concern about workplace discrimination against international graduates (Blackmore et al, 2017; Cameron et al, 2019; Coffey et al, 2021). In addition to racism and xenophobia (Blackmore et al, 2014), the prejudicial treatment can be mainly traced back to stereotypes of international graduates as ‘deficient workers’ (Robertson, 2011, 2206) and ‘migration hunter’ (Tran & Vu, 2016, 204).…”

“…Then, the more years of international students have worked in Hungary, the more reluctant to return their own country to work, and they are more likely to choose to work in Hungary, especially international students with four years of work experience. Cameron et al (2019) also pointed out that many international graduates have taken part-time jobs in the host country during their studies. They choose to work in the host country because they are generally familiar with the relevant cultural norms.…”

In recent decades, more and more international students, including paid and scholarship-funded students coming to study in Hungary, most of them are studying in higher education institutions. The experience of studying abroad has not only broadened foreign students' horizons, but also increased their entrepreneurial awareness to a certain extent, especially increased the number of foreign companies or businesses set up by foreign students to trade and cooperate with the host country. In this sense, they are moving forward to entrepreneurship. At the same time, entrepreneurial and sustainable education in universities also play a very important role in the development of international students' awareness. After graduation, some international students choose to stay and work in Hungary, while others choose to return to their home countries or work in other countries. The present study was conducted to understand whether overseas experience has sustainable influences on career development and employment choice of foreign students, testing whether their employment intentions have changed after studying in Hungary. Furthermore, whether international students' attributes have relationships with their employment intentions. In addition, it is necessary to explore the main reasons for choosing different employment intentions. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Paired Sample T-test and Crosstabulation were used in SPSS. The overall results show that the experience of studying abroad does have a sustainable impact on the employment intention of foreign students, but due to the different attributes of foreign students, the reasons, effects and degrees of the influence are different.

“…This study also holds implications for international students interested in immigrating to host institution countries and contributes practical recommendations informing growing global interest in edu-immigrants. For example, we complement recent research from Australia (Cameron, Farivar & Coffey, 2019), Germany (Aksakal, Bilecen & Schmidt, 2019) and Poland (Bryła, 2019) which has described the desires and challenges facing international students who wish to relocate internationally after graduation.…”

Although the concept of migration and international education is not completely new, the sudden and dramatic expansion of the global education system has created a situation in some western countries in which the growth in international student populations has far outstripped domestic students. For example, the numbers of international students studying in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom have steadily increased over the past 20 years (Sá & Sabzalieva, 2018). Furthermore, the political, demographic and economic conditions in source countries have shaped a stronger desire for individuals to utilize international education as a pathway to immigrate to western countries (Liu-Farrer, 2009;Thomas & Inkpen, 2017). With the ensuing expansion of the global education
