In February 2016, British Council Mauritius took part in the Mauritius International University and Career Expo 2016 at the Swami Vivekananda International Convention Centre (SVICC), Pailles, Mauritius, organised by the Rotary Club of Grand Bay and promoted by PubliPromo Ltd.

The event, targeted at the HE market, saw 30 institutions participate from various countries. The UK HE, however, enjoyed the lion share in terms of presence as out of these 30 institutions, representatives/agents from 20 UK institutions positively engaged with prospective students, providing the audience with information on educational opportunities in the UK. 

The event attracted about 6,000 visitors, thanks in part to the marketing campaign by the lead organisers and lead promoters.  Alongside the main exhibition, a series of seminars were also held, with topics covering a range of topics specific to higher education in the UK.
