Meet future talent at UCAS events

Two students sat in at a mock news desk, in front of a green screen, with BBC branded microphones in front of them. They're pictured laughing and talking into a studio camera.

Meet 16-18-year-olds exploring career pathways at UCAS events

Each year, we visit dozens of towns and cities across the UK, attracting over 140,000 young people exploring their next steps.

For many, a UCAS event is where the journey begins, exploring the career and study pathways available to them.

Our events make exploring those opportunities easier. From starting new conversations to getting answers that matter, we empower young people to plan their next chapter with confidence.

Why exhibit at UCAS events?

89% of student attendees rated our 2024 UCAS Discovery events as Good or Great in post-event surveys. This showcases how our events play a key role in young people’s decision-making and give employers the chance to meet them face-to-face when they’re open to new ideas.

We welcome students from diverse backgrounds, with 27.4% of attendees coming from schools in POLAR 1 or 2 areas. This offers a unique opportunity to connect with a wide range of prospective talent.

Exhibiting is an opportunity to position yourself among top employers such as the NHS, Specsavers, BBC and the Royal Air Force, and build meaningful connections with next-gen talent.
