Study UK LATAM exhibitions Oct-Nov 2017 - Colombia REPORT

Thank you for participating in Study UK Schools and Universities Tours held in Bogota from 17th to 18th October, 2017.

The purpose of this report is to provide you with a summary of the event, including visitor and exhibitor feedback as well as other useful information. We trust that this report will enable you to report return on investment and assist with future decision making.

This second edition of the tours was aimed at providing opportunities for UK Higher Education, Further Education and English providers to meet with potential students from schools and universities. It also gave access to relevant decision makers and influencers from the 6 campuses visited with the hope of establishing a connection for future collaboration. The event hosted 13 UK institutions as listed in Appendix below who engaged with prospective students, visitors and partners, providing audiences with information on education as well as other opportunities that exist in the UK. 

The event attracted over 884 visitors thanks to support from host schools and universities. Alongside the main tour, a series of seminars were also given by delegates and British Council staff, covering topics such as: General Info about applying to a UK university, UK outside London, Writing a Personal Statement, How to choose the right BSc, Internet of things and digital fabrication, among others. The event was successful and generated huge expectations among local schools and universities in terms of the opportunity that exists.

British Council and SIEM team in Colombia highly appreciate your support, and hope that we can continue to provide valuable marketing services in terms of both our exhibitions and also our range of other targeted activities during the year. We hope to see you again at the next exhibitions.
