Education Fairs
Beyond the brochure.

An education fair puts dozens of university representatives in the same room for a day. Done well, a fair saves you weeks of research — but only if you arrive prepared.

What an education fair is

Fairs let you compare programmes side by side, ask entry-requirement questions face to face, and speak to people who understand the admissions process. You leave with prospectuses, contacts and a much sharper shortlist.

Why attend

• Compare several universities without travelling
• Get straight answers on entry requirements, costs and scholarships
• Collect prospectuses and programme details to review later
• Understand application timelines for the coming intakes
• Meet counsellors who can help you shortlist options

How to get ready

• Decide which countries and subjects you want to explore
• Prepare a short summary of your academics and goals
• Write down your questions about requirements, costs and accommodation
• Bring copies of your documents in case you may need them
• Wear something comfortable — fairs involve a lot of standing and talking

Making the most of each conversation

• Ask the same core questions of every university so you can compare answers
• Request the official programme page or prospectus rather than relying on memory
• Note who you spoke to and what they said, so you can follow up accurately
• Be cautious about decisions made in a hurry on the day

After the fair

Bring everything you collected back to your counsellor, compare the options while they are fresh, and follow up with the representatives who impressed you. The students who act in the week after a fair are the ones who beat the deadlines.

Ask us which fairs you can meet us at next — we publish no fixed schedule here, so get in touch for current details.
