Brazilian international education demand trends

Overview

The Brazilian exchange market experienced significant growth in 2025, reaching R$ 7 billion, which represents a 27.3% increase from the R$ 5.5 billion recorded in 2024.

Research conducted by the Associação Brasileira de Agências de Intercâmbio indicates a rising trend of Brazilians seeking undergraduate and postgraduate degrees abroad. Academic training now constitutes 23.6% of the most sought-after exchange modalities. Experts suggest this shift indicates that students increasingly view international education as a “professional investment” aimed at improving language skills, networking, and global employability, rather than merely a life experience.
