British Council Italy recently held their annual Study in the UK Fair in February 2017. This exhibition was the first major event to happen in Italy following the EU referendum and it attracted a lot of interest from our local partners.
In Italy, the numbers of students going abroad grow year on year and the UK remains the most attractive study destination (10% growth over 4 years).
The event, targeted at the HE, FE and ELT market, hosted representatives from 42 UK institutions and provided the audience with information on educational opportunities in the UK.
Compared to the figures from last year, this year the number of online pre-registrations, as well as the number of the participants were lower, but according to the feedback from the exhibitors, of better quality. Students who visit our fair come well prepared in advance, they are highly interested in studying in the UK and they come with a list of questions for the universities.
A rich programme of seminars was delivered on the day. The seminars included various themes and study option in the UK, as well as giving essential information on international student experience. All the seminars were well attended
