We invite universities to join the University Exhibition which will be conducted in conjunction with the LSPI Conference.. The LSPI Conference also offers an opportunity for established foreign programmes of study to be presented by senior representatives from those universities present at the conference. It is planned that education agents will also be on hand to offer expert advice and representation on the entry and visa requirements for these institutions to students interested in making applications. It is recognised that more countries need to open their doors to Chinese students since China now offers a potentially huge market for foreign study. Career Fair.
