Regional British Education Exhibition-France 2010

Education UK and British Council Russia began organising Education UK Exhibitions in Moscow ten years ago. In 2003 regional British Education Exhibitions have been taking place before and after the main Education UK exhibition in Moscow for the first time. During last 7 years citizens of Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg were able to receive first-hand information on educational programmes offered by British education institutions – boarding schools, universities, colleges, language centres, institutions of further education, etc. Advantages of British education are more understandable for many Russian people now and United Kingdom became one of the most popular destinations for studying abroad. We are glad to note that now every 3rd Russian student studied abroad is a student of British education institution.

Regional British Education Exhibitions became traditional events for Russia and this year this tradition must go on. In 2010 Regional British Education Exhibitions will be held in Kazan and St Petersburg. Kazan is a new destination for Regional British Education Exhibitions. It is a capital of Tatarstan Republic and one of the oldest cities of Russia. Kazan is a university city with excellent tradition in education and research. Kazan and St Petersburg are ideal for meeting prospective students and their parents face-to-face, providing young Russians with information first-hand on study opportunities in the UK and to creating links and begin co-operation with educational agents and Russian educational institutions.
