Videoconference @ the British Council 
 
 

The "Be a graduate in UK for a day!" video-conference is an event in partnership with the British Council, as a component of its Quality Assurance for Higher Education project, which will take place on 31 March. 

The videoconference will gather undergraduate as well as postgraduate students who are interested in studying in the UK in the near future. The purpose of this project is to bring together students from Romania and officials from the UK in order to facilitate the information transfer. Through this project we hope that there will be an increase in the number of Romanian students who decide to apply for a quality master degree in UK. 

The video-conference will take place at the British Council between 12.00 pm and 3.00 pm. 

The topics discussed include:

• the most popular study domains in the UK
• financing opportunities
• integrating foreign students in the UK's Universities
• problems that appear in collaborating with foreign students - UK Universities
• enhancing students employability
• admission requirements
• different types of universities in the UK
• the British Council`s approch to internationalising student experience

Bear in mind that there will be a limited number of places and that this is a unique opportunity to speak to one of the people in charge of admissions at the University of Reading, Lauren Sharman, Senior Student Recruitment Officer.
