    Why exhibit at UCAS events?

    89% of student attendees rated our 2024 UCAS Discovery events as Good or Great in post-event surveys. This highlights how our events influence young people’s decision-making and create a unique moment for brands to connect face-to-face when they are actively exploring new possibilities.

    By exhibiting, your brand can stand alongside household names like Samsung, Homes For Students, and Lenovo, reinforcing your position in the market and building authentic relationships with the next generation of consumers.

    Exhibiting at UCAS events gives brands an opportunity to...

    Position yourself as a brand of choice

    Create a lasting impression with future university students and stay front of mind for pre-uni purchases.

    Support students preparing for university

    Students, as well as their parents or guardians, prep for uni by making purchases that include tech, kitchenware, clothing, and homeware.

    Influence students decision making

    UCAS events provide a trusted environment for students to discover and explore.

    In addition to our events, UCAS offers a unique media ecosystem, designed and built around the application journey, comprised of a broad variety of channels including email, paid media, direct mail, and social media. This provides you with different ways to keep the conversation going with young people post-event.
