As of 2023, the number of doctoral level participants in credit mobility programs was recorded, and the forecast data suggests a gradual increase over the upcoming years. From 2024 to 2028, the number is expected to grow modestly, with a steady annual increase hovering around 13 units yearly. This growth reflects a consistent incremental trend, reaching an estimated count of 817 by 2028. Over this period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a moderate upward trajectory in credit mobility at the doctoral level.
Looking forward, key trends to monitor include the impact of international collaborations and academic exchanges on mobility figures. These factors could influence both the demand for cross-border educational opportunities and the development of new mobility programs accommodating emerging global educational needs. Additionally, changes in higher education policies and funding could significantly impact mobility trends, requiring agile adaptation from stakeholders.
