Join Study UK Europe: TNE CONNECT and reach out to students in southern Europe!

Study UK Europe: TNE connect is designed for UK universities and their local partners to engage with students and parents across southern Europe, the Western Balkans and Israel. A combination of webinars, meetings and chats will allow prospective students and their families to learn about the high quality and reputation of UK TNE qualifications, cutting-edge campus facilities and learning resources, and practical information on applications and costs.

The event will take place online 14 - 18 March 2022.

We invite UK TNE providers in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Malta, Romania and will promote across all five plus Israel and the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia).

Why Study UK Europe: TNE connect?

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic means students and parents are exploring affordable study options closer to home. Our latest ‘Brexit temperature check’ showed that awareness of TNE in the student’s own country has increased by 6 per cent since just before the pandemic, and consideration of TNE increased by 8 per cent. For undergraduate students especially, safety and welfare are a priority for parents who might prefer to have their children study nearer to home. In addition, study in the UK has become more costly for European students because of the change in fee status, with students likely to consider alternatives to going to the UK for studies.

This week-long event is the first multi-country event of its kind that the British Council has run in Europe.
