Why take part in the Online Education Fair Africa?
Student mobility has taken a flight in Africa over the past decade. And whilst traditional destinations such as France, the US or UK maintain their popularity, Africans are increasingly attracted to study destinations such as Australia, Russia, Europe, Canada, China, South East Asia and the Middle East. This proves that opportunities abound for institutions worldwide.
Successful Online Recruitment Format
The Online Education Fair in Africa enables students to ask questions and receive live, personal assistance from international recruitment and admissions staff. This personal interaction can turn into a stand-out moment for a student before making the decision of a lifetime.
A unique approach to recruitment events brings those conversations into a new, online space where you can connect and talk directly with African students who are actively in the process of researching and planning their future international studies. Hundreds of schools, colleges and universities all over the world have already used the platform which is generating thousands of live broadcasts and direct conversations between institutions and their future students.
