We are delighted to present a series of recruitment activities in Dhaka, Bangladesh which will help you achieve your internationalisation objectives in the region.

Bangladesh is no longer a market we can ignore. A fantastic growth of 20.8% in 2019 Q1-Q3 visas points in a market ready to explore higher education opportunities abroad. We expect these numbers to be much higher with the GIR coming into effect next year, and the UK will become a prime destination again for Bangladeshi students studying abroad.
Did you know there are one million students graduating high school looking for undergraduate courses? There are 58,000 students studying abroad at the tertiary level but only around 2,500 of those are in the UK. There is a massive pool of potential students that are eager to meet UK HEIs and it is our pleasure to create this platform to help you do just that. Do note, Bangladeshi students are also receptive to non-UK campuses of UK HEIs, so for those HEIs with campuses abroad, this is an audience you do not want to miss interacting with. 

We have planned a 4 day programme that will help you reach students and influencers in Bangladesh across UG and PG markets.

PARTICIPATION FEE FOR THE ENTIRE PROGRAMME FROM 21-24 MARCH IS £450 + UK VAT.

The fees includes table and chair set up at host institutions, light refreshments, local travel and bottled water during travel.

Why should you participate in this event?

• Meet, counsel and recruit UG and PG students from high potential schools and colleges in Dhaka
• Meet and interact with parents, counsellors and agents - highly important influencers in the Bangladesh market 
• Meet local HEI leaders and heads of institutions - discuss potential partnerships and collaborations and build your network
• Understand and experience the international student market in Bangladesh, learn more about the local education landscape and international higher education mobility drivers
• Develop your footprint and build your brand in one of South Asia's most high potential markets

Please note:

• UK HEIs will be expected to arrive in Dhaka on 20th March and will be able to leave after lunch on 24th March.
• The participation fee does not include freight costs and these are the responsibility of the participating institution.
• Visas are necessary for UK passport holders. Where visas need to be obtained, it is the responsibility of the applicant's institution to follow the correct procedures. Let us know if you have any questions or require a visa letter. 
• UK HEIs must send their institution representatives only. Agents will not be able to represent the UK HEI for this programme. 
• The event will only go ahead if we receive minimum interest from 10 UK HEIs.
