Sumario:This paper presents empirical evidence regarding the relationship between enrolment in transnational higher education (TNE) and skilled migration into the country of the institution which provides educational services. Based on macro-level panel data, the analysis shows a link between skilled immigration and offshore enrolment in Australian higher education within the previous years, suggesting that the provision of higher education offshore can constitute a successful strategy to enlarge skilled migrants’ recruitment. The results also indicate that more caution should be devoted to this kind of issue by developing countries when opening their education market to foreign providers.
