The event, was targeted mainly at the HE/FE sector, hosted representatives from 39 UK institutions, that positively engaged with prospective students/visitors/partners, providing the audience with information on educational opportunities in the subjects of their choice.

On the first day, Imran Yousaf presented a Country Overview and Market Briefing at the Regency Hotel followed by education forum round table discussions with local education stakeholders (Director of Scholarship – MoHE and head of Kuwait Cultural Attaché London). This is the first year that we’ve had taken the exhibitors to school directly, which was quite successful.
