Transnational student mobility is a major factor, which plays an ambiguous role
in the dynamic process of international highly skilled migration. In this paper
we try to attempt an approximate profile of the potential migrant student in Bulgaria, according to the migration incentives, intentions and expectations of
highly educated young people from six reputable universities in the country.
For this purpose a sample study is applied based on binary logistic regression
analysis. Some of the conclusions contribute to a critical view and confutation of
prevalent theoretical concepts in international migration. In addition, the model evaluates the impact of economic and other crucial determinants which have an
effect on migration intentions.
