Kolkata, Nov 23 (IBNS): The British Council will host the Education UK Exhibition in Kolkata on Thursday at the Gateway Hotel.

The exhibition is aimed at aspirants who wish to know more about study opportunities in the UK and receive practical advice to help match their career ambitions.

Visitors to the one day exhibition in Kolkata will get a unique opportunity to talk to representatives from over 25 UK universities on a one-on-one basis and get all the questions answered on course choices, visas, applications, scholarships and more.

The exhibition will be organised to provide information on undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes in the UK and also give information on student life and culture. The participating students will also get an opportunity to be a part of a number of insightful seminars on topics ranging from career planning, student visas to IELTS.

Sujata Sen, Director East India, British Council, said, “With a strong reputation for research, innovation and creativity, UK universities attract some of the world’s leading academics and industry professionals. Studying in the UK is a truly international experience with over with 493,000 foreign students from over 200 countries, including around 21,000 from India itself. UK is home to world–class universities including four of the world’s top ten universities and hosts 30 of the world’s top 200 universities. It is most certainly a vibrant and stimulating place to live and study, offering great value for money. We have scheduled this two-day Education UK Exhibition to give students and their parents the latest information about studying and living in the UK, and showcase the many benefits of the world renowned UK education.”

Scott Furssedonn Wood, British Deputy High Commissioner, Kolkata, said, “The UK welcomes the brightest and best international students to our world-class universities. The UK remains one of the most popular destinations for international students. There is no limit on the number who can come. We now have our biggest-ever scholarship offer to Indian students, including our largest Chevening Scholarship programme anywhere in the world. We have improved the visa service to make it as straightforward as possible for Indian students to get their visas, by offering more guidance and opening more visa application centres across India: last year 88% of applications were successful.  A UK education is GREAT: we look forward to warmly welcoming more Indian students to the UK next year.”
