How it works
Not a university fair but an admissions route
University stand
Requirements, tuition, documents, an interview. Ask about cut-off scores and grant places.
Chance assessment
A consultant looks at your scores and profile and says it plainly: this one is realistic, that one needs preparation.
On-site testing
A mock IELTS/GMAT/SAT with an expert review: forty minutes and you know the distance to the goal.
Scholarships
Grants, education loans and exchange programs with submission deadlines.
Career guidance
Testing and consultations for senior pupils together with parents.
Studying abroad
Admission consultants, foundation courses, visa and housing questions.
The show runs in April, when the decision has formed but applications are still ahead: it is the last chance to change your preparation, not just collect brochures.
We ask universities to bring numbers, not only leaflets: competition per program, tuition, scholarship seats and language requirements. Without that, a conversation with an applicant does not happen.
The costliest mistake of an applicant is a year spent preparing for nothing. At the show you can save that year.
