We’re delighted to announce that we are now able to offer an exclusive opportunity for SIEM-registered UK Institutions to advertise in our student e-Newsletters. EducationUK in South Asia launched student e-newsletters in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and we have seen a steady rise in subscribers each month.

Our newsletters have a readership of over 25000 students in South Asia, from all academic fields. Our newsletter open rates average 19% in a region where on average 16.5 people out of one hundred have access to the internet. We have strong social networks in the region and promote our newsletter via social media channels to ensure the widest reach for your advert. 

The newsletters are so popular because they contain everything potential students need to know about studying in the UK. We showcase study options in the UK, practical advice on living, accommodation, visas and also include exciting places to visit, cultural experiences and adventures. We like to prepare students for life after study too and so include possible career paths after completion of a UK degree, scholarships, and alumni success stories (submit yours).

All of our newsletter subscribers have registered to receive information about UK study opportunities through our website, exhibitions and events.

Please see the attached document below to see the different designs of ads that can be taken up by an Institution, cost of advertising and other important details.
