researchers to investigate the international mobility of students, it lacks studies focus on a particular
country. The research investigates the factors that influence the flow of Vietnamese students studying
abroad over the world. The gravity model is employed to examine with the availability of data from 87
countries of destination over 20- year period from 1998 to 2017. The result shows the geographical

students to that country. Other findings also indicate the factor of monthly wage each year and the
religious proportion in host countries have a statistically significant and large effect in the inflow of
Vietnamese students.
