Nepal has been an exciting country to watch in the last few months. The response in Nepal post-GIR announcement has been extremely positive from students and agents alike and we are predicting a strong increase in applications from Nepal this year.

It is expected that Nepal will see 20,000 more international students by 2027, which isn't surprising as the UKVI TIER 4 visa figures for Q3 itself saw a 114.5% (487 visas) increase. While the numbers are still fairly small in absolute terms, it is now comparable to countries like Colombia, Sri Lanka and Chile. Australia commands the majority of international students in higher education, but we think the UK is primed to provide stiff competition in coming years.

To make the most of this opportunity we have planned a 1.5 day programme that will help you reach students and influencers in Nepal across UG and PG markets.
