Higher education student fairs

With a higher education system ranked second in the world, Sweden is an attractive study destination for students worldwide seeking to complete their bachelor’s or master’s degree abroad. Swedish academics emphasise critical and creative thinking, skills that are highly valued in today’s global labour market.

Help spread the word about the nearly 1,000 international degree programmes offered at Swedish universities. This toolkit includes a PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes, printed materials, booth design and pull-up displays, as well as guidelines for participation in fairs and pre-departure events.
