Where do international graduates build their careers? Talent Beyond Borders, a joint research project by Studyportals and Cambridge IELTS, explores how graduate career pathways differ across disciplines and destinations. Explore the data.

The impact of international graduates expands far beyond economics. Research shows they contribute not only through their work, but also the wider roles they play in society. Explore our report and inspiring alumni stories behind the figures.

International students are often reduced to a source of tuition income. We're changing that. Talent Beyond Borders uses large-scale graduate and economic data to show patterns in mobility and the many way cohorts contribute to society after graduation.

What happens after international students graduate? The impact of international education isn't just where students study, it's where they go next. Read key takeaways from our graduate and economic data analysis, in partnership with Studyportals.

A single cohort of graduates who stay in the country they studied in generates an estimated $110 billion in economic output in their first year of work and $1.7 trillion over a working lifetime. But that's not all. International students may be worth trillions to host economies, but their contribution goes beyond economics. They bring skills, global networks and diverse perspectives that strengthen workplaces and communities. Discover the lasting impact of international graduates in Talent Beyond Borders, where we explore findings from a dataset of over 500,000 international graduates.

Everyone who follows an English pathway for international study should have an equal opportunity to achieve their work, study and language goals. Those individuals have the power to make lasting impact on the world. Just over half of internationally mobile students study through English-medium education. Yet, they account for more than three-quarters of the economic value generated by graduates who stay to work in their host country after graduation. But beyond the economic value, these pathways tell a bigger story about the long-term impact of international education. Read our full report.
