How to Get the Most Out of the Global Study Fair

At the Global Study Fair, you’ll be able to meet universities, colleges, and other higher education institutes from around the world.

With just a little bit of preparation, you can ensure that you get the most out of attending the abroad fair.

Below are our top 3 tips to help you have a great experience at the Global Study Fair.

Check technical requirements

Browser

To access the fair, you will need to use Safari or Google Chrome as your browser – and do update your browser if you’ve been putting it off. 

Enable JavaScript

The fair is an interactive JavaScript environment. So be sure to enable JavaScript in your browser if it isn’t already. If when entering the fair you get a message to install or update JavaScript, do so then. 

Wired vs wireless internet connection

If possible, use a wired internet connection (using an Ethernet cable).

A wired connection is generally faster than a wireless network and is less likely to lose connection.

Data usage

The fair can use up a substantial amount of data, so we recommend that you connect to the fair via Wi-Fi or broadband instead of mobile data. 

Video

Check that you can play videos on your device.

Audio

Consider using a headset with an attached microphone.

A good pair of headset can block out distracting background noise and enable you to listen and speak to university recruiters clearly and comfortably.

Research participating universities and prepare questions

Before the fair, do your research on the participating universities. Read up on the programs offered by the universities and note down any questions you might have. 

The fair is an opportunity for you to ask questions to help you make decisions about the schools and programs you might be interested in.

You can ask university representatives about:

• The information from the university’s website or brochure
• Career prospects after graduation
• Qualities that the university or school looks for in prospective students
• International alumni or current students’ study abroad experience

Set your schedule for the fair

✅ Check out the virtual fair agenda and decide which events or webinars you would like to attend.

✅ Add the calendar reminders for these events and webinars.

✅ Make a list of the universities that you would like to speak to. You can chat with university representatives or book them in for video meetings.

✅ Try to speak to all the universities on your priority list. We'll have active recruiters specialized in your region who you can chat with live during certain time windows.
