This year’s fair promises to be a game-changer, bringing together a wealth of information, resources, and direct access to leading universities, giving students a one-stop opportunity to plan their educational futures.
A Gateway to Global Education
IDP Education has long been recognised as one of the world’s leading education consultancy organisations, helping students realise their dreams of studying abroad. For Sri Lankan students, the opportunity to attend this exclusive event comes at a time when interest in studying in Australia and New Zealand is at an all-time high.

Ravi Chandran, the Country Director of IDP Education Sri Lanka, emphasized the event’s importance: “Sri Lanka has an incredibly ambitious and talented student population. More and more students are recognising the value of an international education.

Expanding Horizons: What’s on Offer
This year’s education fair is designed to cater to students at different stages of their academic journey. Whether they are exploring undergraduate programmes, postgraduate degrees, or professional courses, the fair offers a variety of options that appeal to a wide range of interests.
A prospective student, who attended the fair last year, explained: “The fair is a fantastic opportunity to meet universities face-to-face and understand more about the programmes that interest me. It’s also helpful to get advice on how to prepare my application and what scholarships are available. The personalized consultations with university representatives are one of the best parts of the event.”
In addition to exploring academic programmes, students can also learn about the broader benefits of studying abroad, such as gaining international work experience, adapting to a multicultural environment, and the potential for career advancement post-graduation.
Scholarships and Financial Aid: Making Education Accessible
One of the major draws of the IDP Education Fairs is the opportunity for students to explore scholarship options, which can significantly reduce the cost of studying abroad. With the rising cost of international education, scholarships play a crucial role in making studying abroad more accessible to Sri Lankan students.
At the fair, university representatives will provide detailed information on available scholarships and the eligibility criteria. Ravi Chandran, further highlighted the importance of scholarships in making international education more affordable: “Scholarships are a great way for students to fund their education abroad. Many Australian and New Zealand universities offer merit-based scholarships, and IDP works closely with these institutions to help students apply for financial assistance. We encourage students to start their scholarship applications early and make the most of these opportunities.”
With the fair providing access to scholarship advisors and information on funding options, students have the best chance to find financial support to complement their academic journey.
Personalised Guidance: A Step-by-Step Approach to Studying Abroad
One of the most valuable aspects of the IDP Education Fairs is the personalised guidance students receive. Many students find the prospect of applying to universities overseas daunting, especially when it comes to managing the logistics of visas, accommodation, and the overall application process.
That’s where IDP Education steps in—offering a step-by-step approach to help students make informed choices and feel confident about their plans. Another student who attended last year’s fair, shared the experience: “I wasn’t sure where to start when it came to studying abroad. But at the fair, I was able to talk directly to the university representatives and get advice on my application. I also received great help from the IDP team regarding visas and accommodation. I felt much more prepared for the next steps.”
IDP Education’s counselors are well-equipped with in-depth knowledge of each university’s admission requirements, visa regulations, and student support services. Their expertise ensures that students are not only aware of their academic options but also of the practicalities involved in studying abroad, from choosing accommodation to understanding cultural adjustments and support systems in place at universities.
A Thriving Partnership: Strengthening Sri Lanka’s Global Connections
As the largest study abroad fair in Sri Lanka, the event marks the growing global connection between Sri Lanka and leading educational destinations like Australia and New Zealand. Over the years, these fairs have been instrumental in creating pathways for Sri Lankan students to access world-class education and contribute to an increasingly interconnected global workforce.
As international education becomes a key part of Sri Lanka’s educational landscape, events like the IDP Education Fairs are essential in connecting Sri Lankan students with opportunities that might otherwise seem out of reach. By providing access to top universities, expert advice, and comprehensive support services, IDP Education is playing a crucial role in transforming the educational futures of Sri Lankan students.
Future Prospects: A World of Opportunities
The demand for international education in Sri Lanka is growing, and the IDP Education Fairs are positioning Sri Lankan students to seize the opportunities that await them. The fair not only offers a platform for students to explore academic options but also serves as a springboard for building a successful global career.
In addition to providing detailed information about university programmes, scholarships, and visa processes, the fair highlights the long-term advantages of studying abroad. For students, an international degree opens doors to a wide range of career opportunities, giving them a competitive edge in the job market. The opportunity to study in Australia or New Zealand is not just an educational experience; it is a life-changing opportunity that can shape students’ careers and broaden their worldviews.
As Ravi Chandran concluded: “At IDP Education, we believe that every student has the potential to succeed on the global stage. By providing access to world-class universities, we’re helping Sri Lankan students take the first step toward realising their dreams. This fair is a testament to the growing desire among Sri Lankan students to make their mark in the global community. We’re proud to play a role in empowering these students and helping them achieve their academic and career goals.”
Conclusion
The Australia and New Zealand Education Fairs hosted by IDP Education are more than just an exhibition of universities—they are a gateway to a brighter future for Sri Lankan students. With over 35 universities from Australia and New Zealand, students have a unique opportunity to explore educational opportunities, gain advice from experts, and receive the guidance they need to study abroad with confidence.
