British Council Ghana is organising a pre-departure briefing in Accra on 05 July 2017 for Ghanaian students who plan to leave for the UK in August/September 2017 to begin an undergraduate, postgraduate or study abroad course.

The pre-departure event will be an excellent opportunity for participating UK institutions to engage and guide applicants on the visa process and prepare for their time in the UK. The event will also connect applicants with other future UK students, and engage UK alumni living in Ghana.

Target audience: Applicants who are residing in Ghana who have been offered a place, but have not accepted or have a conditional offer can attend the event. Students participating in study abroad programmes are also welcome to attend. Parents of applicants are also welcome to attend.
