What is The Student World?
In-person university fairs and visits to school campuses by representatives are truly invaluable and irreplaceable experiences. However, exploring post-secondary options through live online fairs is a dynamic and accessible alternative that remains significantly underutilised. But let’s be clear—online events don’t have to mean dull sessions with a single point of contact and a flat, uninspiring interface. Far from it! Picture an engaging, multi-layered, and immersive digital platform with navigable pavilions and booths showcasing global post-secondary opportunities, all while enabling live one-on-one chats with university representatives.
That’s exactly what The Student World platform offers with its 3D Online University Fairs. This innovative approach allows high schools anywhere in the world to access—completely free—valuable insights into the motivations and preferences shaping their students’ post-secondary plans. For students and parents, these fairs are much more than informative; they are interactive and enjoyable experiences. Moreover, attendees gain complimentary access to The Student World app after the event, enabling them to refine their plans, compare options, and create a well-informed shortlist for their future.
