 The UK Saudi Interest Group (UKSIG) is a forum bringing together internationalisation colleagues from the UK’s higher education sector, the British Council, and key stakeholders in Saudi. It aims at supporting the activities of UK institutions in Saudi and promoting partnerships and cooperation between UK universities and relevant Saudi organisations. The British Council hosts two meetings for the UKSIG, usually in March in London and in October in Manchester. The sessions include a briefing from the Saudi Cultural Bureau in London that generally focuses on reporting and the Ministry of Education's latest updates. The British Council in Saudi delivers a market briefing about the latest market trends and updates about the scholarship schemes, and partnership opportunities.
