The British Council is inviting UK universities to join the East Asia Counsellors Forum 2023, taking place on Thursday 21 September, at the Pathumwan Princess Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.
This hybrid event aims to provide career counsellors from East Asia with the latest updates, student mobility insights and useful resources to support their students' journey towards studying in the UK in 2024-2025.
In addition to informative briefings, the forum will feature an engaging panel discussion on how universities and schools can collaborate to empower students for success in their UK applications. This collaborative approach ensures that students receive comprehensive support throughout their application process.
Why attend?
By attending either in person or virtually via Zoom, UK universities will hear influential voices from East Asia, whilst gaining valuable insights and feedback. Attending in person also provides a valuable networking opportunity to foster meaningful relationships.

Additional promotion opportunity for UK institutions
Given the importance of providing counsellors with up-to-date information about your institution, we are giving UK higher education institutions the opportunity to share useful resources, such as admission requirements, course offerings, scholarships and contact details of market development managers at the event. This will provide counsellors with comprehensive and accurate information to guide their students effectively.
