Student Events

Face-to-face contact with 250,000 16 and 17 year-olds

UCAS Media runs a series of Higher Education Conventions and subject-specific events throughout the UK, providing a unique opportunity for 16 and 17 year-old students to meet face-to-face with universities and colleges, professional bodies, careers guidance organisations and student-facing brands.

The events play a vital part in the higher education application process, helping potential applicants decide what and where to study, and providing an opportunity for students to speak directly with university and college representatives.

A wide range of organisations wanting to present their products and services to those interested in going into higher education use the events. Along with universities and colleges, exhibitors include careers advice organisations, gap year organisations, student support services, professional bodies, student finance advisers and commercial companies.

The events take place between March and November each year and offer exhibitors and sponsors an unrivalled platform to engage with the target audience in a face-to-face environment. From stand presence and pre-event marketing through to inserts in ‘show bags’, the events can help reach this audience in a fast, efficient and effective way.
