UK University Search will be hosting our spectacular higher education fair at the Etihad Stadium, on Thursday the 5th of October. Our Autumn Manchester Fair is the perfect way for students to choose which university or apprenticeship is right for them.

Students will also now be able to talk to some of the UK’s best apprenticeship providers, HE colleges, specialist institutions, and student-related organisations will also be in attendance.

“We found the event and seminars really helpful. Students who attended all went away enthused and inspired. They managed to speak to a range of exhibitors and took away some invaluable information relating to personal statements and student finance, which they received first hand (instead of just another school presentation). Thank you.”
