MARKET INFORMATION

The Education Expo receives extensive media and public attention every year. This year, the Education Expo will visit three cities, providing the opportunity for UK institutions to showcase their educational offering and engage with prospective Chinese students and their parents face-to-face. The British Council supports UK institutions who attend the China Education Expo through our Study UK campaign.

The British Council in China is organising the UK pavilion at the Expo, and will promote the event and increase exposure of the participating universities by using the following marketing channels:

• distributing print media to key national and local media outlets: by discussing relevant topics that are of interest to the Chinese public, these print media are an innovative way to promote UK education
• online promotion: the British Council has popular Education UK accounts on Chinese social media portals, such as on Sina Weibo (280,000 followers) and WeChat (more than 130,000 followers)
• offline promotion: the British Council will attend the Education Expo press conference on behalf of all UK exhibitors, and will introduce UK education updates and features of the UK pavilion to all key media contacts across the nation.
