This article reports the findings of a predominantly qualitative study on the main factors that guide the initial migration of Malaysian students to Australia and their aspirations to stay on or leave the host country upon graduation. It also examines whether they deliberately seek qualifications that help them secure permanent residence. The students who do not intend to migrate permanently expressed a preference to remain for a while in Australia for mostly employment and income-related reasons
