The 17th Education UK exhibition in Korea will take place in Seoul on the weekend of 27 to 28 October 2007. The Education UK exhibition in Korea attracts potential students who have already done some background/basic research about study in UK, and about specific institutions. They have specific and targeted information needs, and seek to get a ‘sense’ of the institution they wish to commit to. We have relatively few ‘window-shoppers’ who are looking for introductory information about institutions. Where possible, this is an ideal market for representation by academic staff in the main subject areas, as well as international office staff.
