• The programme covers only the main events in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The Brazil team will be happy to help institutions that want to build a customised calendar visiting other cities or liaising with local contacts.
• Institutions will previously elect whether to hold a 30-minute Live Chat session to all Brazil.
• Universities' presentations will be attended by students pre-registered and filtered by the British Council, so that each institution interacts with an audience compatible with the suject of its presentation.
• Presentations will not be about each institution, but rather subject areas or topics to be agreed with the British Council team.
• Presentations in São Paulo will be webcast live to the whole country and later on loaded on the website so that students can watch them.
• A few weeks before the actual event, on-line presentations will be available for students on the British Council website, preparing them to meet the universities. General themes, like postgraduate courses, Chevening, English and IELTS, and studying in the UK, will be explored, so that during the Postgraduate Week, the pre-registered students feel prepared to a higher level of discussion with UK representatives.
