dc.description.abstract	This research aims to analyse the economic impact of international students of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (Portugal) on the regions. Therefore, a quantitative approach methodology was chosen, using a questionnaire survey. The data collection instrument was sent by email to the 1,449 international students enrolled in the academic year 2016/2017, and 478 valid responses were obtained. This analysis enabled a socioeconomic characterization of the international students and, with the obtained global values of the monthly expenses, it was possible to estimate the economic impact of these students in the cities where they study (Bragança and Mirandela). The following indicators were obtained by international program: i) Erasmus+ Students contributed with 2.2 million euros; ii) International Credit Mobility Students with about 612 thousand euros; iii) International Mobility Students with 1.6 million euros; iv) Double Degree Students with 917 thousand euros; v) Prospective Students with 275 thousand euros; vi) the Students in other international protocols with 1.1 million euros; vii) the Students without any international program contributed the most with 5.5 million euros. Overall, the international students who attended the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança in the academic year 2016/2017 generated an estimated economic impact on the region of 12.3 million euros.	pt_PT
