To overcome the issues around the quality of enquiries that we had last year at the Education UK exhibition in Kandy, we have increased the number of pre-seminars / presentations to ten, starting from early January 2008 and going on until the second week in February 2008. Also, we are conducting undergraduate presentations on Saturdays to build awareness and to prepare the students with information on UCAS, entry requirements, visa requirements, etc. Furthermore, we are working on an awareness campaign on studying in the UK which will start around two and a half months prior to the event.
