A first-timers guide to a virtual event

Never been to a virtual exhibition before? Don’t worry, we’re here to guide you through what to expect from your first visit, and help you make the most of the experience.

Attend a virtual open day

If you can't visit them in person, you might be able to attend a virtual open day at a university or college.

Virtual tours

If you can't get to an open day, virtual tours are a good way to get a feel for a place, check out their facilities, and see what it's like on campus.

Virtual tours

Here's a list of virtual tours and videos from universities and colleges, so you can see what it's like on campus and what facilities are available.

Virtual Work Experiences

Led by industry experts from the world's leading employers, Virtual Work Experiences give you a taste of what a career would look like through interactive, on-demand programmes.

Info and specs

Our exhibitions are your chance to engage with tens of thousands of students, along with their teachers and parents, both virtually and in person at locations right across the UK.

International events

It's a good idea to talk about your higher education options in person. Go to a course provider open day to explore the campus and get insights from staff and students – or take a virtual tour. We also recommend you go to UK events or one of the British Council events around the world. You'll find lots of helpful advice, and can ask any questions you may have.
