Exploring Factors Influencing International Student’s Decision in Selecting Ca’ Foscari University for Higher Education

This study aims to explain the reasons why international students choose an academic institution overseas to pursue higher education, particularly in case of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. In fact, there are many factors influencing students during the making decision process, and those factors in general vary across cultures and cultures. Based on this purpose, a combine model which is developed from previous studies and theoretical frameworks is used to investigate and understand the strengths and relationships between influencing factors. In the methodology, the mix method will be use to investigate sample students, using both survey and semi-structure interview for analysis.
