Background
Bridge International for Academic Services has been for nearly seventeen years exerting all efforts to explore the Jordanian academic market, from links with Jordanian universities, student unions, and employees from the private and governmental sectors to expose the excellence of the UK universities to the Jordanian public. Eight of the International Office Exhibitions that Bridge had already conducted have proved to be very successful in terms of promoting recruitment and acquainting the Jordanian's with the prestige of the UK universities at the UG and PG level. Therefore, Bridge International has now started preparing for the 14^th International Office Exhibition which will take place in June 2012.

Objective
The main objectives of the Exhibition are to expose the wide diversity of disciplines, courses and services within a number of reputable UK universities to the public and to the educational institutions in Jordan. This will provide enough information concerning the entry requirements, fees, length of studies and a general overview of the cities that are hosting such universities. In addition, the following will constitute the main information that the Exhibition would provide for the Jordanian public:

This Exhibition will provide an outstanding opportunity for the highly reputable UK Universities to become acquainted with the Jordanian educational sector and to fulfill their needs.

Participating UK Universities
This Exhibition will be limited and is specifically tailored for the UK universities that have cooperation agreements with Bridge International for Academic Services.

Timing of the Exhibition
The event has been carefully timed in order to cater for the academic needs of students at all levels. During this month, most of the UG students who wish to join the UK universities for foundation year courses and first year degrees are hoping to settle their decisions at the right university.  Similarly, during this month most students who wish to pursue their PG education for September 2012 are encouraged to seek acceptances. 

Agenda (Tentative)

N.B. Individual meetings can be held during the course of the Exhibition between Bridge International Management and the participating universities to discuss further cooperation.

Bridge International is already in contact with the Jordanian Institution for Engineers. Once we receive the adequate number of participants, we will approach the Chairman of the Jordanian Institution for Engineers in order to host the opening of the Exhibition.

Location and Accommodation
The Exhibition will be held at Kempinski Hotel in Amman. Helpful maps, driving directions and distances, airport services, flight and reservation information, local weather, and things to do in Amman and the surrounding areas are provided at the Secretariat Desk.

Arrangements could be made for single rooms or double rooms (in the event of spouses accompanying representatives). Extended stays could be arranged by Bridge International to include staying in the hotel for longer periods and arranging visits to tourist's sites including: Petra, Jerash, Om-Qais, the Dead Sea and Aqaba. The hotel offers e-mail, fax, and word-processing services, plus a variety of recreational resources for your relaxation, including a full-service restaurant, lounge bars, indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna, and a fully equipped exercise room.
