Abstract
The aim of the thesis is to analyze the factors that converge in the international mobility of university graduates from Argentina, in a context of increasing global flow of students. This trend is part of a process of internationalization of the scientific and higher education activities, driven by the conditions of countries and the interests of the students who decide to continue their education abroad. Based on this scenario, the thesis seeks to provide an analytical contribution to a hardly- studied phenomenon, to promote future researches with focus on the impact of it on the scientific basis of the country. For this, the thesis firstly presents a state of th e art on international mobility of students. Secondly, discusses quantitative evide nce on global movements of students from Argentina. Then, describes internatio nal postgraduate scholarships programs most known in the country. Finally, it presents the results of a fieldwork designed to study the perceptions of graduates regarding the mobility of students.
