Poster
✅ Included for all participants
This poster synthesises shifting student demand, programme preferences and destination market competitiveness across three regions: Asia; the Middle East and North Africa; and Latin America. Based on exclusive data and insights from a Studyportals and British Council research initiative, we will highlight where demand is strongest, which subjects and delivery models are accelerating and how institutions can strategically position transnational education partnerships to improve access and impact.
Please note, posters are divided between the SEC Centre and the Crown Plaza Hotel this year. The approximate walking time between the two locations is 4 minutes. Posters ending between 01 and 16 will be found in the SEC Centre Concourse, posters ending between 17 and 30 will be found in the Crown Plaza Hotel, Argyll Foyer.
