The forecast for international PhD students in Information and Communication Technologies in Poland shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, international PhD students represented 2.18% of all PhD enrollments in this field, which is projected to decrease to 1.77% by 2028. This decline reflects a continuous reduction in the proportion of international PhD students year-on-year.

Year-on-year percentage variations between 2024 to 2028 show decreasing values, indicating a consistent downtrend. Specifically, the average yearly decline (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is noteworthy.

Looking ahead, several trends deserve attention:

The potential impact of global mobility restrictions on international student enrollments.
Changes in Poland's higher education policies that could either discourage or incentivize international students.
Shifting global demand for ICT skills and PhD qualifications.
Increased competition from other countries offering attractive opportunities for international students.
