The data on international students in tertiary education for ICT in Belgium indicates a gradual decline from 5.39% in 2024 to 5.34% in 2028.

Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes in visa regulations, shifts in global student preferences, and the impact of emerging ICT sectors that might affect enrolment numbers. The increasing digital transformation and job market demand for ICT skills might alter enrolment trends, potentially offsetting the current slight decline.
