Education UK Autumn Tour in Chicago, Washington, DC, and New York
This past fall, accompanied by 18 UK universities, Education UK hosted counselor breakfasts and luncheons in the Chicago, Washington DC, and New York areas. The attendees learned about the UK's application system (UCAS), academic culture, student life and how best to advise your students on how to receive their UK education. The events gave high school college counselors and independent education consultants the opportunity to network with our participating institutions and have all questions answered about the UK system.

The Education is GREAT California Tour
From April 27-May 3, Education UK toured California accompanied by 16 British Universities. On our tour, we stopped in Orange County, San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. We met thousands of students looking to study in the UK as well as hundreds of counselors looking to be a part of the Education UK network. We attended National College Fairs and a community college fair as well as hosted Education UK study fairs, Education UK workshops, market briefings, counselor briefings, and receptions. Thanks to all of the counselors for your participation! It was a GREAT week!

Our counselor lunch briefing in San Diego was a huge success. The briefing provided local counselors with information regarding the UK higher education system and how to advise their students on their UK study options and how to apply. We hosted 5 counselor briefings on our California tour.

At the briefings, the British Universities took the time to sit and discuss study options with the counselors, as well as to answer any questions they may have had.

We provided counselors with tools and resources to take with them from the briefings, such as this Education is GREAT poster to hang in their schools.

The room was packed to capacity with students, parents, and high school counselors at our Education UK Study Fair in San Diego.

Parents, students, and school counselors alike were all able to speak one on one with the individual British Universities after our presentation at the Education UK Study Fair in San Diego.
