The purpose of this campaign is to complement our existing efforts to promote study abroad in the UK through the EducationUK and SIEM programmes in the USA. The campaign is aimed at increasing awareness of study abroad in the UK with US undergraduate students. Universities will be able to purchase a half-page advertisement on the Education is GREAT insert as part of the campaign.
