More than 30 top British universities, English language course providers, and other education institutions will take part in the two-day “Study in the UK” higher education fair on March 13 and 14 at La Cigale hotel.
As part of the ‘Great British Festival Qatar 2016,’ the annual event will open its doors from 4.30pm to 8.30pm to students, parents and educators who are interested in pursuing higher education in the UK.
Admission to the event is free, but online registration is recommended to gain faster access.
Those who register online will also be entered into a competition to win a free return trip to the UK, courtesy of Qatar Airways, complete with a “Shakespeare Experience.”
Sponsored by the British Council International English Language Testing System, the exhibition also provides detailed information for professionals seeking to advance their careers, parents interested in a UK university education for their children, as well as educators and Qatari scholarship providers.
The two-day event will include a number of seminars and invite attendees to explore the wide range of courses available in the UK including the University of Cambridge, University College London, the University of Manchester and the University of St Andrews.
Over the past few years, the number of Qatari students studying in the UK has grown year-on-year.
The embassy recorded a 20.4% increase in the number of Qatari students travelling to the UK to study between 2014 and 2015. Since 2010, the number has doubled.
