3. Explore 1,000+ degrees in one place

Edufair 2025 features over 1,000 degrees from more than 40 exhibitors, covering undergraduate, postgraduate, professional, and short-term certification programmes.

 4. Listen to thought leaders and education experts

The seminar series is one of the most popular segments of Edufair, drawing students and parents looking for real-world insights. Experts break down how the job market is changing, which careers are on the rise, and whether it makes more sense to pursue a niche specialisation or a broader degree. You’ll also hear why career stability no longer means sticking to one job and how workplace trends are reshaping long-term plans. For those looking for international education, panels on global talent mobility highlight how changing visa rules are influencing study-abroad decisions.

5. Avail discounts and grants  

Edufair visitors can take advantage of exclusive offers from participating universities, including tuition fee discounts, scholarships, and grants. Several institutions will also offer spot admissions, giving students the chance to secure a seat on the spot.
