Overseas University Fair

As part of our My Future Programme, which helps students to prepare for and understand their different options when they leave Lancing, we hosted an Overseas Universities Fair. With the help of The University Guys, five international universities spoke to students about their unique study offerings.

Each year, some 8–10% of Lancing students apply to overseas universities, with considerable success as far afield as Ivy League Colleges in the United States.

The universities that attended the fair are specialists in their fields, and each offered something different and exciting for Lancing students to consider. Where you learn can teach you just as much as what you study and therefore it is essential that our students have every opportunity to choose the university that is perfect for them. We would like to thank EHL Switzerland, Bishop’s University Canada, Hult International Business School, IE University Spain, Glion, and Les Roche Universities for sharing their knowledge with us.

After throwing myself into the local experience and speaking more with the locals and making some great friends, I noticed how much I was learning without even trying. Being immersed in the setting meant the language, culture and customs were all around me.

Within three months I found myself counting in Spanish, dreaming in Spanish, and replying to questions proposed in English when I went home to visit family in the UK, in Spanish.

Studying abroad opened so many doors for me, I even ended up working in Spain for a few years before heading back to the UK where I could say I was bi-lingual and continued to work for an international company where I could use my Spanish language daily. My role now is to inspire and empower students on their options to study abroad and what they can gain from it.
