Abstract
This study determined the influence of the patterns of motivation on academic achievement. The specific objectives of the study are to determine the influence of intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation on academic achievement. The study used descriptive survey design, purposive and stratified samplings were used to select the participants from the population of eight hundred and eighty two (882) international students. A total of four hundred and forty three (443) were sampled. A validated questionnaire was administered on the respondents (international students) at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels of Islamic University in Uganda, Main campus, Mbale. The study found out that intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation has a moderate influence on the academic achievement of international students in IUIU. However, both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations have weak (moderate) influences on academic achievement of international students in IUIU. Thus, it was recommended that the University should encourage the students' intrinsic motivation; the government and stakeholders should be selective and cautious in enhancing the students' extrinsic motivation; and the international students should always give priority to intrinsic motives over the extrinsic ones for better academic achievement.
