The Greens will seek a Senate inquiry into the treatment of international students in Australia.

Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young says stories of student exploitation and mistreatment have been emerging from Australia's international education industry.

The National Union of Students last month called for an inquiry into the issue, and the National Liaison Committee for International Students also wants it, Senator Hanson-Young said on Friday.

"The international education sector exists at the intersection of Australia's immigration and education regulations," the South Australian senator said in a statement.
