UCAS organises events across the UK, including conferences for higher education staff providing information, training and advice, and exhibitions that provide the opportunity for higher education institutions to meet those interested in studying within HE.

UCAS Conferences

The UCAS events team organise a programme of conferences for HE staff across the academic year, bringing together experienced speakers from the higher education sector to provide you with comprehensive and up-to-date advice and information on the application process and the surrounding HE landscape.

Whether you are new to your role, wishing to extend your knowledge, or looking for the most up-to-date advice and guidance on the changing HE environment, UCAS conferences will give you what you need.

Our conferences also provide an excellent opportunity to network and share good practice with colleagues from across the UK.

UCAS higher education conventions

UCAS organises a network of up to 50 higher education conventions across the UK each year. The network of events are regularly attended by approximately 250,000 students from 2500 schools, who value the events as a vital part in helping their students decide what and where to study within higher education. The conventions offer an ideal opportunity for higher education institutions to talk to students and advisers about their institution and the courses they offer, in a face-to-face exhibition environment.

Each year over 300 universities, colleges, and organisations, exhibit at UCAS higher education conventions, united in their aim to inform and advise those thinking about studying at higher education on their future options.

For further information and to find out about exhibiting at the UCAS higher education conventions, please visit the conventions website at www.ucas.com/conventions.

Subject-specific exhibitions

For those with a particular interest in studying art and design or performance arts subjects, we organise three subject-specific exhibitions. These events offer higher education institutions the perfect opportunity to talk to students about the courses they offer in these subjects, within a live exhibition environment.
