Study UK promotional campaign in Russia 15 November – 15 December 2021 and 15 January – 15 February 2022: promotional opportunities for UK education establishments

The national promotional campaign will target potential students and their parents in Russian cities with the most recruitment potential. We aim to raise awareness of the UK educational offer and to promote individual institutions as the pandemic has hit international students’ recruitment.  We strongly believe in a long-term commitment to international students’ mobility and in a positive difference that all levels of academic mobility (from schoolchildren and students to early career researchers and academics) is making to our countries. Although the pandemic has affected the number of students applications from Russia, the interest in studying abroad among Russian parents and students is resuming. UK remains the top-choice destination for students from private schools, and one of top-4 countries for students planning their education abroad. 

The promotional campaign will include a number of tools and channels like streams, talks, webinars, articles, interviews, SM posts/feeds, newsletters, and presentations. Please see below how you can be part of it free of charge.
