An event report (421KB) is available.

The Education UK Exhibition this year is not only aimed at students wishing and preparing themselves for the journey to the UK, but also aims to raise the profile of UK education through academic lectures as well as facilitating more partnership links between UK and Vietnamese institutions. It is therefore recommended that UK institutions also delegate an academic staff member, where possible, to attend the exhibition together with International Office staff.
