What to Expect at the Event
Making International Connections with Top Universities and Education ExpertsTruly unique in its ability to connect you with influential leaders at higher education institutions from across the globe, the International Schools Forum & Workshop also helps you improve your day-to-day tasks when counselling students. By attending, you will learn the latest application standards and documentation required for students who plan to pursue an education overseas.
You will hold 15 pre-scheduled, private meetings with education experts who will help you become familiar with each institution’s academic quality, student support, living and learning environment, as well as practical information such as admissions procedures, deadlines, exams, financial requirements and so on. All of which takes place within a comfortable, yet professional, atmosphere where you can forge relationships with a selected group of the world's most internationally-oriented higher education institutions.
