Attending the Lebanon Education Fair is one of the best ways to learn about international study opportunities without leaving the country. With representatives from top universities around the world gathered in one place, you have a unique chance to ask direct, personalised questions and receive guidance tailored to your goals.
But what should you ask to make sure you get the information you need? Here’s a comprehensive guide to help Lebanese students make the most of this exciting opportunity.
Find all the answers at the Lebanon Education Fair
Asking the right questions is key to starting the university application process with confidence.
Our Global Study UK counsellors are always at hand to help you get the answers you are looking for.
Start with Admission Requirements
Before anything else, you’ll want to understand what it takes to get in. Ask universities about:
- Required grades for your chosen course
- Accepted qualifications for Lebanese students (e.g., French Baccalaureate, A-Levels, IB, local high school diplomas)
- English language tests like IELTS or TOEFL and whether pre-sessional English courses are available
- Additional requirements such as portfolios for art, design, or architecture degrees
Knowing this upfront will help you focus on universities where you meet or can work toward meeting the requirements.
Explore Scholarship Opportunities
Many students worry about finances, so make sure to ask about:
- Merit-based scholarships for high-achieving students
- Early bird discounts for students committing early
- Subject specific scholarships
- Country-specific awards for Lebanese or Middle Eastern students
- Application timelines for funding opportunities
Ask whether scholarship are awarded automatically, require a separate application, and whether special requirements apply. Securing a discount can make a big difference to your overall budget.
Understand Graduate Outcomes
It’s not just about the degree; it’s about what happens after graduation. Some questions to ask:
- What percentage of graduates find jobs within six months?
- Do they offer internships or placement years as part of the degree?
- What industries or companies recruit from the university?
This information can help you choose a university that sets you up for long-term success.
Get a Feel for Student Life
University isn’t only about studying. Ask about:
- Student clubs and societies
- Cultural communities, especially for Middle Eastern or Arabic-speaking students
- Sports facilities, arts events, or volunteer opportunities
- Support for international students, including orientation sessions and language support
A lively, welcoming campus environment can make your university experience much richer.
Check Out Facilities and Campus Support
Finally, make sure to ask about:
- Accommodation options — on-campus, private housing, and costs
- Libraries, labs, study spaces, and student lounges
- Career services and employability offices
Many universities also offer virtual campus tours or videos so you can get a feel for the place before applying.
Before the Fair: Come Prepared
To make the most of your day:
- Research which universities will be attending
- Write down your top questions
- Bring academic transcripts, test scores, or a copy of your CV
- Take notes and collect prospects and brochures for follow-up
