Purpose: Our research objective is to carry out an analysis of the motivations and specific decision factors of Brazilian university students who will travel to Spain to continue their studies. Design/methodology/approach: The applied methodology has been to conduct online surveys among members of the Brazilian student community in Spain. For the design of the survey, we started with a previous exploratory study with in-depth individual interviews. The interviews were conducted based on a semi-structured questionnaire inspired by the previous literature.Findings: The comparison between the previous studies in the literature and the results of the survey shows that the factors “Academic level of the center” and “Prestige and prospects” of having studied abroad coincide with one another. Indeed, these factors are among the most significant in almost all of the studies and have also been highlighted by the respondents, confirming the importance of these factors in their decision to study abroad. On the other hand, the rest of the factors that appear to be the most relevant in the survey results are specific to and characterize the flow of students analyzed. Specifically, they concern the international experience, scholarships, image and culture of the country and the language.Research limitations/implications: The sample is limited, due to the difficulty of contacting this type of subject, which made it necessary for the researchers to adopt various approach strategies.Practical implications: The results obtained can benefit the recruitment of Brazilian students.Social implications: Contributes to knowledge of the emigration flows and relations between the two countries.Originality/value: The specific topic of Brazilian students in Spain has not been previously discussed.

“…These situations, which are part of international students' decision-making factors, can occur in different geographies. In this framework, cultural compatibility (Ahmad & Buchanan, 2016), which is defined as the similarity between the host country and the culture of origin, can be distinctive (Ward & Kennedy, 1999;Kondakçı, 2011;Özoğlu et al, 2015;Kingeski & Olivella, 2018). Moreover, the experience of another country's culture and the attractiveness of international education are other cultural factors (Pawar et al, 2020;Cao et al, 2016).…”

Studying abroad has increasingly become prestigious in the world and its causes and effects are significant. In this study, we aimed to determine which factors are the most important for international students in choosing a country in which to study. In this respect, seven factors have been identified and analyzed with spherical fuzzy DEMATEL. The most important contribution of this study to the literature is that we analyzed it with numerical variables and a multi-criteria decision-making method based on non-numerical data and expert opinions. Thus, we aimed to guide policymakers and researchers. According to the study results, the most important factor for international students in choosing a country in which to study is legal and political factors. Therefore, it is crucial that countries provide attractive government policies and implement legal regulations Also, it is important to make legal systems more democratic. In addition, taking the necessary security precautions regarding routes to school and places where international students live, ensuring stress-free visa procedures, and simplifying legal requirements will encourage more international students to pick the country. In this way, economic and social development of the country will be facilitated.
