3. When it comes to researching your degree course options you must
consider the degree courses abroad. With the autumn fair season just
around the corner and with many fairs to chose from you should schedule
The Student World Fair on Saturday 3rd October 2015 at the Business
Design Centre in Islington from 10am – 4pm.
Where studying abroad is concerned there are plenty of things to be
excited about like: cheaper tuition; relaxed entry requirements; a chance
to travel whilst studying; the opportunity to gain valuable skills including
global skills which employers are now looking for; and studying at an
institution which is closely aligned to your learning style.
Don’t worry if you haven’t decided on what to study yet, our national
exhibition could be the perfect source of inspiration you need. Although,
if your plans are a little more concrete, you can use the fair to meet (and
compare) different international universities and make useful contacts.
4. THE STUDENT WORLD FAIR GUIDE
When you arrive at The Student World Fair you will be given a fair guide
along with a goodie bag. Use the fair guide as a point of reference as to
which universities will be the best one’s for you to talk to. You’ll be able
to work out the location of each university as well as the courses they
offer. If you struggle to find the right university for you then just call upon
a member of staff who will be happy to help! We are easy to find in our
Student World T-Shirts.
5. RESEARCH THE UNIVERSITY
The Study Abroad Loan fair is the perfect opportunity for you to meet
international universities face to face and find out about opportunities
available to you. You may only get a few minutes with each university, so
make the most of your time with them! Try to familiarise yourself with
their institution including, the courses they offer, the admissions process,
entry requirements, location, the culture both academic and social,
additional information. The more you do beforehand the richer the
experience can be when you meet them: you will have knowledge to
draw upon and that in itself will make a good impression.

6. Most students ask if they should come in formal dress. You don’t! However,
you should aim for a clean and presentable look
Bring a notebook with you. Paper and pen might seem a little old school but
it is probably the best way to keep your notes which you could always type
up at a later date.
Make a note of the representatives contact details or ask for a business
cards
Although there’s no such thing as a stupid question, you should still prepare
some thoughtful questions to make a good impression and to get the
information you need.
Make yourself memorable for the right reasons! After all, the people who
you will be meeting could be a decision maker in the process of your
application!
