The British Council held its first regional Study UK Virtual Fair on 10 October 2020 for prospective students from Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The virtual fair gave an opportunity to the participating UK institutions to virtually meet potential students from across four countries interested in higher studies abroad. The virtual fair provided a great platform for the UK Institutions to promote their courses, scholarships, intake dates, admission related information among the students, parents, teachers, career and guidance counsellors.
Representatives from 27 UK HEIs, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) and British Council IELTS participated in this virtual fair. 4,500 prospective students, parents, counsellors and advisers registered for the Study UK Virtual Fair and over 2,500 attended the event on 10 October. On average, each UK university received over 200 unique students in their meeting rooms.
We are pleased to share the post-event report with you and we hope that you find it useful. The post-event report highlights the feedback from delegates & participants, marketing and promotions carried out for virtual fair and list of recommendations for the UK HEIs.
During the pandemic, we are keen to support the UK HEIs in reaching prospective international students through a series of virtual activities. Please keep visiting the International Education Services (IES) website to view the latest activities in South Asia.
