This year the British Council Indonesia is organising Study UK Pre-Departure Meet and Greet, a pre-departure briefing for Indonesian students commencing their studies in the UK in 2019. The event, to be held in both Jakarta and Surabaya, will help the students to prepare for their departure to the UK and provide them with information on topics including visa applications, accommodation, banking, health and safety, travel, and well-being.

The British Council will invite UK Alumni and representatives from PPI UK (the Indonesian student association in the UK) to share their experiences and provide the prospective students with information about studying and living in the UK. The event will also be used as an opportunity to introduce the first digital Indonesian UK alumni platform, which will enable alumni to network with one another.
