Visiting a convention or subject-specific exhibition can prove invaluable when making your decisions
We organise many events to help you make the right decision when choosing a university or college. The more you can find out about individual courses and places to study, the more prepared you will be when you get there. Our conventions and subject-specific exhibitions give you the opportunity to speak to representatives from universities and colleges who can help you to make an informed decision about what and where to study. Many of the events also have extensive seminar programmes, which cover topics such as grants and loans, taking a year out, how to fill in your UCAS application and entry to competitive subjects.
In this section, you can find details about all of our upcoming exhibitions and conventions that you can attend. They are designed mainly for 16- and 17-year-old students (Year 12, Lower Sixth or Scottish Higher students). However, anyone applying to, or interested in, higher education is welcome to attend the events.
