Parent Info

We know it can be a bit of a challenging time helping your son or daughter find the right university place, and if they're thinking about studying overseas, you're naturally going to be concerned about distance, money and cultural issues that you might not have to address if they were studying in the UK.

The Student World Fair has been designed for you as well as your child and we'd love it if you can come along to the fair too. There will be plenty of opportunity to talk to representatives from overseas universities who can help to put your mind at rest and who will chat through how they will help support your son or daughter in their move overseas.

You'll find that our exhibitors are well practiced at welcoming overseas students from many worldwide locations and that they will make the transition to living abroad a simple one for both you and your son or daughter. Most universities will provide additional support for students studying abroad as they realise that adapting to life in another country comes with changes in lifestyle, language and cultures that can seem daunting.

You'll also have the opportunity to attend some seminars designed specifically for parents to find out more about some of the practical (as well as emotional) issues including:

• Scholarships
• Employability
• Student case studies

Register for The Student World Fair and find out more about the opportunities available for your son or daughter to study abroad! It's a completely free event at an exciting venue (plus there's tea and coffee and a place to put your feet up while you wait!)
