For Exhibitors
Why participate?
- Top universities worldwide are continually in search of top applicants for both their undergraduate and postgraduate courses. This search goes beyond their own shores as they increase the international component of their student populations. Growth of international student mobility was 41% between 1999 and 2004 (source UNESCO) and continues unabated
- More and more sixth-formers in the UK's top secondary schools look to complete their university education overseas to gain international experience
- Some 26,000 UK nationals are undertaking tertiary education abroad each year and many of the 360,000 foreign students, currently studying in the UK, are in the market to study again in another country
- No existing event in the UK combines a wide representation of top international universities offering both their undergraduate and postgraduate courses
London Fair - March 2009
Why London?
In London alone, 90,000 international students attended HEI's in 2006/7, a 5% increase over the previous academic year. This accounts for 26% of all UK international students.
The figure of 90,000 international students in London compares with 65,885 in New York and 37,515 in Sydney.
As producers of the QS World University Rankings, QS is uniquely positioned to invite and promote a major representation of the world's

Our global clientele and our track record of running 120 prestigious education events worldwide each year give us the experience, the
