The forecast for international students at the doctoral level in Brazil shows a slight increase from 2.82 thousand in 2024 to 2.85 thousand in 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year growth rate of approximately 0.35% to 0.36%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is minimal, indicating a stable yet slow increase in numbers. As we are in 2024, no data from 2023 is available for historical growth comparison.
Future trends to watch for include potential fluctuations in the number of international students due to changes in Brazil's visa policies, global geopolitical shifts, and the country's economic climate. Additionally, increased investment in research infrastructure and international collaborations may enhance Brazil's attractiveness to international doctoral students over the coming years.
