StudyWorld fam trips
StudyWorld fam trips take place before and after our in-person events to give education agents the chance to visit a range of English language centres around the UK. They are a great opportunity to discover new study destinations, meet school staff in person and speak to current students.
Trips include agent travel, accommodation and meals.
There will be five fam trips before StudyWorld Glasgow 2027 in January. See below for more details on the available trips.
> Canterbury and East Kent coast with English UK South East
> Discover Scotland with St Andrew’s College Language Schools
> Discover Sussex with English UK South East
> The North of England with English UK North
> Visit York with Melton College, York
StudyWorld fam trips are available to agents registered to attend StudyWorld Glasgow 2027.
The fam trips take place before StudyWorld Glasgow, so participating agents will join the trip at the agreed starting destination. The trips will arrange travel to Glasgow for the beginning of StudyWorld on Wednesday 27 January.
Fam trips have a registration fee of £75 per agent. You will receive a payment request for this once your place on a trip has been confirmed.
