UK Education Tour's mission is to introduce highly qualified, internationally-focussed students to British universities, colleges and quality language schools. Our events are 100% UK focussed, and promote the UK through Studybritish.com, UKTI and the FCO, social and traditional media, ensuring that we reach the target segment for UK education.
"UKET is well organised and a well connected fair to the people in Kurdistan. It is well known by the Ministry and has been running for some years which gives us confidence to attend the next one".

In the past 3 years UK Education Tour has established itself as THE event for UK education in the region. We will be returning to Sulaymaniyah, a vibrant commercial city in the east of the region, and home to the University of Sulaymaniyah. On Wednesday morning, will take a scenic drive to Erbil, capital of Iraqi Kurdistan and one of the oldest continually-inhabited cities in the world. As well as the University of Salahaddin, there are several public and private universities in Erbil and surrounding cities.

We only invite UK universities and schools, and we provide a platform that highlights UK education as a high value, high quality option. We will be promoting the event throughout Iraq, to increase the attendance and enquiries from both the Kurdish Region and the rest of Iraq. We are driven by the needs and feedback of our clients - UK universities and schools - and of the aims of the governments of Kurdistan / Iraq.
After several successful events in the region (feedback below) we are again expecting to sell out of spaces. Please book early to avoid disappointment!
