Study Group, a world leader in education and training for international students, today announces its third annual Nigeria Higher Education Exhibition. The exhibition is run in partnership with the British Council from the 12-19 May and based at its headquarters in Lagos.
Representatives from four Bellerbys Colleges and a number of UK universities will welcome students to the exhibitions and provide individual advice from UK Higher Education professionals. The group will also visit local schools in Abuja and Lagos. Study Group will seek to boost awareness on the wide range of education options available in the UK.
The exhibitions will be attended by six of Study Group’s twelve university partners: the universities of Sussex, Stirling, Newport, Lancaster, Lincoln and Liverpool John Moores. Representatives from each will attend the eight-day event to encourage Nigeria’s best young minds to apply for the opportunities available at their campuses.
“We are proud to be participating in the Nigeria Higher Education Roadshow organised by Study Group”, commented Professor Scott Davidson, Pro Vice-Chancellor at the University of Lincoln. “We have just announced plans to open an International Study Centre (ISC) at our Brayford campus, and the Nigeria Higher Education Roadshow is an ideal opportunity to talk to students and tell them about what we can offer here at Lincoln.”
In the run-up to the exhibitions, Study Group has announced this year’s ‘Annual Nigerian Scholarship Scheme’. It represents a unique opportunity for Nigerian students to secure a prestigious three or four year scholarship to one of the universities’ International Study Centres (ISCs). The winners will be announced live on 14 May at the British Council Office in Lagos.
Offering four further scholarship opportunities will be representatives from Study Group’s four Bellerbys Colleges, located in Cambridge, Oxford, London and Brighton. Offering programmes ranging from GCSE and A Level to university level foundation and postgraduate preparation courses, Bellerbys College provides international students with a safe and stimulating springboard for entering the UK’s top universities.
James Pitman, Managing Director, Higher Education UK and Europe at Study Group, commented: “We are delighted to be able to offer eight hard-working and gifted Nigerian students the opportunity to come and study with us in the UK. We want to ensure that Nigerian students have the best advice and guidance on the application process. With the increasing globalisation of learning, it is more important than ever that young people have access to the UK’s gold standard education.”
A host of international education agencies will also be joining the exhibitions providing staff to answer students’ queries on the spot. In addition, students hoping to study overseas will benefit from the recent opening of a new Study Group office in Lagos with a dedicated Nigerian regional manager, further reinforcing the company’s commitment to the region.
