Spain Education Fair October 2024

Participating universities will have the opportunity to meet Sixth Form students from private schools in Catalunya, Madrid and Costa del Sol, areas traditionally sending students to UK Universities. The organisers and hosting schools will do specific promotion to school counsellors in the surrounding areas.

We expect to attract a minimum of 1000 visitors in Madrid and 500 visitors from wealthy schools in Barcelona and Málaga.

Is there a fee?
There will be no fee for participating universities as British Embassy, host schools and British Council offer their staff and facilities for free. Universities will need to cover travel to/from venues and any incidental expenses.
