According to data from the EU's statistics agency Eurostat, 48% of university students in Luxembourg are 'mobile', meaning they are completing tertiary education in a different country to where they finished secondary studies.

The Grand Duchy's largest university is the University of Luxembourg, while there are several other institutions providing tertiary education in the country, such as the Luxembourg School of Business, MUDEC and the Sacred Heart University.

Cyprus (24), Austria (18), Czechia (14) and the Netherlands (12) round out the top five for most foreign university students.

At the lower end of the scale, Croatia and Greece have the fewest proportion of mobile tertiary students, with 3%, followed by Spain and Portugal (4).

The EU average lies at 8%.
