The i-studentgroup have just returned from a five day trip to Istanbul, Turkey where we attended the highly successful A2 Fair as well as visiting schools in the local area.

The Hilton Istanbul Hotel opened its doors on the 27th March to thousands of Turkish students all keen to gain more information on higher education. There were an impressive range of stands in attendance, representing universities, colleges and institutions from all over the world.

The i-studentgroup had a fantastic response from the visitors spanning across the two-day event, with a large number of students registering with our new online, university matching service – i-studentenquiry.com

We were also very lucky to visit with a number of local schools in Istanbul; where we met with counsellors and some of their pupils to introduce them to the wide variety of resources produced by the i-studentgroup. The response and feedback gained from these visits was fantastic and we can’t thank the schools enough for their time and the kindness they showed us.

Special thanks goes to:
The organisers of the A2 Fair for putting on a brilliant event and looking after us.
