Traditionally, students who have pursued this option represented a relatively privileged and demographically narrow group. More recently, governments and other agencies have been offering funding support with the aim of ‘democratising’ study abroad so that it is more accessible to all students. To help inform the ‘democratisation’ discussion, this paper presents an analysis of the demographic profile of students from Australian universities who currently study abroad, examining changing trends over time and identifying demographic groups that may be underrepresented in the current Australian study abroad population.  \nKeywords: study abroad, student mobility, New Colombo Plan  \nIntroduction: Defining and quantifying study abroad  \nStudy abroad encompasses activities through which students receive academic credit from their home education institution for study undertaken in another country. It includes undergraduate and postgraduate tuition, supervised research and curriculum-related work experience, such as internships. It also includes study exchange programmes between domestic and foreign institutions.A common feature of study abroad is that it isnot for the purpose of gaining an award (i.e. a degree or qualification) from a foreign host institution, but instead involves students undertaking discrete units of study, generally for the purpose of gaining academic credit that will be recognised by the award-granting institution they are enrolled in, in their home country.This is a distinctly  \ndifferent activity from other forms of outward student mobility, which involve study towards a full qualification that is granted by a foreign host institution.  \nStudy abroad data can be readily collected by institutions that send their own enrolled students overseas. However, counting international students who have enrolled to complete a full award course in other countries generally requires those other countries to report data on the nationality of incoming students, perhaps to a global database such as the one hosted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Institute of Statistics (UIS, 2014) . A substantial quantitative difference between study abroad and award (or full-degree) mobility is readily apparent from data on United States of America (US) students studying outside the US.The annual report Open Doors by the Institute of International Education (IIE)  \n52 Students from Australian universities studying abroad Steve Nerlich vol. 57, no. 1, 2015  \nA U S T R A L I A N U N I V E R S I T I E S ’ R E V I E W  \nidentified 273,996 US students studying abroad in 2010- 11 (Farrugia, Bhandari & Chow, 2012) .
