FindAUniversity are experts in postgraduate recruitment, running two of the world’s largest postgraduate study directories, and a diverse, high-quality portfolio of 13 specialist postgraduate study fairs.
These postgraduate study fairs - PhD LIVE, Russell Group Universities Postgraduate Study Roadshow and Postgrad LIVE - are cost-effective ways to meet in excess of 7,500* highly engaged prospective students during the 2019/20 season.
Event Magpie is available for you to use at all of our fairs, and can also help you optimise your own student recruitment events. Our lead capture app makes it easy for you and your exhibitors to record attendee information in real time, follow up leads and get the most out of your event.
Your professional development is also important to us. Our postgraduate marketing and recruitment conferences are valuable development and networking opportunities for you and your team – with events to suit those in senior, strategic roles, as well as those new to the sector. Whatever your level of experience, we provide inspiring talks, case studies and industry insight from experts in postgraduate education.

Get your brand seen Exhibiting at our postgraduate study fairs is a high impact way to get noticed by prospective students who are actively looking for postgraduate opportunities. Last year our postgraduate study fairs welcomed visitors from more than 100 different towns and cities, maximising your reach and exposure to a varied audience.
Make connections At our 2018/19 fairs, over 80% of attendees* said they were planning to start postgraduate study in the next academic year - our fairs are your chance to tell them why they should do it at your institution!
Identify the best candidatesRecruitment fairs are a two-way street. Not only are you selling your institution to prospective students, you also have the chance to identify the best and most engaged candidates to follow up with. Using our lead capture app, Event Magpie, it’s easier than ever to record interactions in real time and follow up with the strongest leads.

*at PhD LIVE and Postgrad LIVE
Cost effective and flexible Exhibiting at our fairs can be more cost effective than putting on your own recruitment event – meaning they are accessible to a wider range of exhibitors. We welcome all UK and international universities and you can exhibit as a full institution, or as a department, faculty or school.
At PhD LIVE and Postgrad LIVE 2018/19 over 10% of exhibitors were departments, faculties or schools and 9% were international institutions.
Our events are advertised far and wide We work hard to make sure our fairs, and your presence at our fairs, are shouted from the rooftops (in fact, that might be the one thing we don’t do...). We advertise via a range of channels and mediums, including:
210,000+ followers across our social media channels
260,000+ globalemail subscribers
150 bus rears
150 passenger panels on buses, trains and trams
Flyers/posters
Digital & plasma screens in Students’ Unions

**In 2018/19
“The real benefit of recruitment fairs is the chance to talk to those students who aren’t entirely sure about their path. I see recruitment fairs as the
first step in that relationship – a way to make them aware of you and what you offer, and then you can move them to the next stage, whether that’s attending an Open Day or connecting them directly with relevant
academics.”
Varan Houghton, UK Postgraduate Recruitment Officer, University of Southampton
