Universities



British Canadian International Education is an organization that facilitates recruitment of students for universities. In a conference room at the La Palm Hotel, a dozen UK schools had booths, many with representatives from the schools, though some staffed by BCIE personnel.



Both Abdul and Moses registered and entered. There was initially some confusion about what to do once inside, so I helped them through the first couple of interviews. Abdul focused on engineering, Moses on accounting.

Abdul left pretty excited. Seems he is well within range of direct admission with a possible scholarship, particularly if he can improve a bit in a couple of areas (advanced maths and biology in particular). Moses was happy to learn that his remarkable score of C in English is the qualification he needs for further studies. He is now looking at a year of foundational studies to explore accounting a bit, but also to keep open other options.
