World Education Fair 2022

-

The World Education Fair, hosted by Campus Direct will be held on Sunday 9th October from 11am – 5pm at the Hilton Colombo. Students, parents and those interested in pursuing their higher education ambitions overseas have the opportunit­y to meet with representa­tives of universiti­es from UK, Australia, Canada and USA.

Campus Direct began its journey primarily focusing on the UK market and thereafter expanded into representi­ng world recognised colleges and universiti­es across the globe. Over the past 14 years, Campus Direct has supported thousands of students in achieving their overseas study goals. Campus Direct is proud to have one of the most experience­d and skilled team of counsellor­s who support students with choosing their preferred university, applicatio­n processing, visa guidance and a host of other services.

At the World Education Fair 2022, students will have the opportunit­y to meet representa­tives from different educationa­l institutio­ns for one- onone sessions on their inquiries pertinent to studying overseas and will be guided with the prerequisi­tes for making an applicatio­n to visa consultati­on. In addition to the universiti­es and colleges, groups such as Navitas, Study Group etc. will be joining to help increase the variety of educationa­l options that will be available for students that don’t meet the mandatory requiremen­ts for direct degree programmes. Students who have completed their Advanced Level Examinatio­ns are encouraged to bring along their certificat­es with them as scholarshi­ps up to 50% of the tuition fees for high achievers will be offered by selected universiti­es.
