Join us at the International Education Conference, taking place on 3-4 December 2019 in Edinburgh

Reboot and reload; defining new futures for international education 

British Council invites the international education sector to come together to reboot and reload our strategies; explore and face the impact of the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union and define our new future – working together to attract, educate and support sophisticated and technologically astute global students, who in many cases will go on to influence the futures of their own countries.

Join our team to find out about international market conditions, discover best practice for supporting international students and network with other likeminded international education strategists.
