There are more than 3,000 educational institutions in the UK.  If you are considering studying in the UK your first step should be to visit our Customer Service staff for general information.

Preparing for UK study

We can give advice about the education system in the UK, guidance about where to search for universities, colleges or schools, and how to select suitable courses.    

Living as a student in the UK

We can offer pre-departure sessions to prepare students before travelling to study and live in the UK.  These workshops can provide an insight into UK culture and the opportunities available to international students.

New - Changes in our English language placement services

We have ceased our service of English Language Placement Services since August 2008. We will continue to offer workshops and information sessions that provide guidance and advice for you to be able to do your placement yourself or through the local Education Agents.

Exhibitions and visits

Every year we hold the Education UK Exhibition (EDUKEX), inviting over 40 UK universities and colleges to be represented here in Kuwait. These exhibitions provide an excellent opportunity to meet the UK institutions’ representatives in person and discuss with them your needs and their requirements for admissions.  In addition, we facilitate visits throughout the year from individual UK institutions coming to Kuwait to hold seminars or appointments with customers, or visit local education authorities and institutions.

Training for education agents and agencies in Kuwait

We provide a certificated online course especially designed for education agents, in “Promoting UK Education & Training”.  This qualification is designed by the British Council to increase agents’ capacity to promote the UK as a study destination.  The focus of the course is to develop the agent’s skills to source relevant information and update his/her knowledge about studying in the UK.  The duration of the online course is 8-10 weeks.

Relationships and exchanges

Other services we provide, for the purpose of exchanging experience, expertise and knowledge in specialised fields related to education, are to facilitate and support visits for our local partners interested in attending British Council seminars and events in the UK or in the region.
