This year for the first time British Council Indonesia held Study UK School and University Roadshow, visiting 3 reputable schools with international curriculum and 3 prominent universities in Surabaya.
British Council Indonesia collaborated with each of the host schools and universities to hold a mini exhibition targeting at the students and parents as the key audience.
The host schools and universities were chosen based on the potential and interest of its students to continue undergraduate and postgraduate programme overseas.
The aims of this school and university roadshow were as follows:
- To enable students and parents to obtain information directly from the UK Institutions’ representatives regarding UK education system in the UK focusing for pathway / foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes,
- To enable UK Institutions to promote their programmes, strengthen their profiles and recruit more Indonesian students to their institutions.
- To strengthen the connection with the host schools and universities by giving supports in providing thorough information regarding UK education system
- To raise awareness of the UK as a chosen study destination with world class education
There were around approximately 500 students and parents attended the Study UK School and University Roadshow from 6 host schools and universities in Surabaya. Feedback from the school counsellors, head of international office and UK institutions’ representatives attended the roadshow in overall was very positive. Presentations on various related topics such as guidance on portfolio preparation, how to write personal statement, UCAS and the power of marketing.
British Council Indonesia undertook a review of the Roadshow to identify what went well, what did not go well, and the key ‘lessons learnt’ to inform future activities. With feedbacks from exhibitors and school counsellors, this post-event report presents the results of that review.
