The UK's ONLY "Study Abroad Event", 17/3/12

Saturday 17th March 2012, Emirates Stadium, London

With all the news about increasing student tuition fees and the lack of student places at universities in the UK The Student World have recently launched the Student World fairs – the UK’s only study abroad events.

After carrying out market research The Student World found that students in the UK weren’t aware of the huge number of opportunities available for studying abroad. Many students didn't realise that degrees are taught in English and can often be more cost effective than studying in the UK.

The Student World Fairs have been designed to answer all the questions a potential student/parent/career adviser may have regarding studying in another country. On the day of the event you can meet with over 50 universities from around the world, ask them questions about courses, fees, accommodation and living in another country.

The Student World will also be running a series of interactive seminars covering everything from making country specific applications, to funding and employability. Any student who meets with over 5 universities at the event will be entered into a prize draw to win either a £3,000 bursary or an iPad*

For FREE tickets please visit The Student World website, where you can either book individual tickets or you can register a group booking.

If you have any questions regarding our events please feel free to contact us.

The Student World Fair is not to be missed and they are looking forward to seeing you all there!

Best Wishes,

The Careersbox Team

P.S: The Student World are holding more events in September and October and we will keep you updated with the latest news and exhibitor info via email.
