KOCHI: IDP Education India, a leading student placement service provider and co-owner of IELTS, will organise the ‘IDP Education Fair-UK and Canada’ here on Monday.
The fair, to be held at Holiday Inn Hotel, is meant for students aspiring to pursue higher education abroad.
At the fair, institution representatives and faculties from the UK and Canada will come together to attract Indian students to their countries for higher education.
Admission is open in over 15 leading universities and institutions in the UK and Canada, for 2016, to courses such as Business Management and Finance, Hospitality, IT, Engineering and Computer Science, Pharmacy, Biological Sciences, Public and Health Administration, Law, Medicine and Nursing, Art and Design, Mass Communication and many more.
IDP will organise education fairs in various cities across the country. It offers students opportunity to explore the various study options available in four countries, under one roof.
IDP Education regional director (South Asia, North America and UK) Harmeet Pental, said, “with 45 years of experience, IDP has placed over 420,000 students worldwide, at the rate of one student every 20 minutes”.
“Short-listing universities and working through the application process can be challenging for students, and pursuing higher education abroad entails a high investment. So, it is important to take the correct decision in the beginning itself,” he said.
IDP Education Fair-UK and Canada in Kochi will be a platform for students to have one-on-one interaction with eight British institutions and seven Canadian institutions.
The UK institutions are Anglia Ruskin University, Birmingham City University, Coventry University, Edinburgh Napier University, Leeds Beckett University, Middlesex University and Sheffield Hallam University.
The Canadian institutions participating in the fair are Algonquin College, Conestoga College, Camosun College, Centennial College, Fanshawe College, Humber College and Thompson Rivers University.
