purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the tendency of students working at the graduate level of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Research Sciences Branch. Methodology: The method of this research is survey and its statistical population (N) is postgraduate students of Science and Research Branch of Islamic Azad University in 1398. The sample population (n) was 300 subjects who were selected using Cochran's formula. The data of this study were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire with 4 variables and 26 questions. Regression analysis, Friedman test and other related inferential statistics were used for statistical analysis of data. Results: Based on the analysis of the data, 47.5% of the students at a very high level stated that they have a tendency to migrate (bronchochi). In this regard, based on the findings of regression analysis, repulsive factors (internal) with a beta of 329%, gravitational factors (external) with a beta of 271% and individual factors with a coefficient of 249% had the highest predictability of students for migration, respectively. Also, based on the results of Friedman test, political factors with an average rank of 3.64 and social factors with an average rank of 3.39 had the greatest role and influence on the tendency of elites to emigrate abroad. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, scientific elites have a negative assessment of the internal conditions of the country in political, social, economic and cultural dimensions and have a positive attitude towards the conditions of developed countries. Therefore, it can be said that being multidimensional and even the accumulation of various issues causes the elite to decide to emigrate despite all internal dependencies. It seems that the formal government can prevent the outflow of this capital by identifying the students' problems.
