description With over 85% of qualified Haitians living abroad, Haiti continues to face the issue of brain drain, beyond the controversy to which this notion gave rise from the 1990s onwards. Based on this observation, combined with the marginal place occupied by such an issue in scientific debates, this article sets out to explore the links between the international mobility practices of Haitian students and the potential brain drain relating to this category of migrants, in the context of the post-earthquake of January 2010. Based on a corpus of qualitative data, consisting of semi-structured interviews conducted with eight Haitian graduates (F/H) in France, the article adopts a comprehensive approach that questions the motivations behind their international student mobility project, as well as the reasons that might lead them not to want to return to their country of origin after their university education.
