Open Doors Education Fair - Fall 2010
Please click on the image to view a larger version
The Open Doors Education Fair is a top international student recruitment event for high-school students, undergraduates and postgraduates who are interested in studying overseas. The event will take place in Sofia and Varna, in Bulgaria, in October 2010.
Event participants
It’s one of the most successful international student recruitment fairs to be held in Bulgaria over the past few years, with events being held in prime locations, and major cities, of the country.
Launched in 2003, and using its experience in the education and counselling sectors, the Open Doors Education Fair has had lots of positive feedback and participation recommendations from numerous educational clients worldwide.
It attracts a large number of high-calibre Bulgarian students who have good qualifications and study levels, meet the required admission requirements, have researched future study opportunities, and have ambitions of studying abroad.
A practical hands-on approach is on offer to help recruiters target Bulgarian students, and the organisers are sure this has a better impact on them than a traditional fair.
This international education fair in Bulgaria will also take place in January 2011.
