What will you get?
What to expect on the day
A Postgrad LIVE Study fair is made up of two parts: an exhibition hall where you can talk to universities and a talks programme which runs in parallel at the same venue. You can go between the two as much as you want, and attend as many of the talks as you wish.
We will also have an "Ask Us Anything" zone which will be a dedicated area for you to ask your burning questions around funding, applying, studying and more to our postgraduate experts!
