Study UK virtual fair on August 21

13% increase in student visas issued in 2020-21 for Indian students

The British Council will host the ‘Study UK Virtual Fair’ on August 21 Saturday where students will be given the opportunity to meet representatives from 35 UK universities, education counsellors and specialists on UK visas and immigration.This is the first virtual fair hosted by them this year, and will be open free of cost to students who have already got admissions as well as those who are looking to pursue higher education in the UK . Last year, over 11,000 students registered to participate in the two virtual fairs held in August and December. “Earlier this month, the United Kingdom moved India from the red list to the Amber category, meaning that students now heading to the UK to study do not need to fulfil the stringent hotel quarantine that was mandatory. Universities too have been proactively assisting students and helping them by providing accommodation on campus to quarantine if needed,” said Janaka Pushpanathan, Director-South India, British Council.
