The premier fair for higher education student recruitment in Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.

Chile, Colombia, Mexico & Peru - Buzzing markets for international education students

BMI invites you to participate in Latin America’s leading international fair dedicated to higher education student recruitment.

The success of the Spring 2023 event series, which featured over 100 international universities and pathway providers, demonstrated once again the region’s strategic importance as a key student recruitment market. Students attending this event were largely looking for postgraduate opportunities, while a smaller group were seeking a full undergraduate degree abroad.

Young people in Latin America know they need to increase their employment prospects and that international experience will help them gain a competitive advantage. Hence, an interest in getting an undergraduate or postgraduate degree from overseas is booming.

Visitor Statistics: Feb/March 2023

Total number of visitors: 16,341

Course of interest:

  • Master’s: 56%
  • Undergraduate: 24%
  • MBA: 16%
  • Certificate / Diploma: 15%
  • Career-based / Vocational: 10%
  • Pathway / Language Programmes: 9%
  • Ph.D.: 4%

Supported and attended by the region's most important funding bodies

Key funding bodies in Latin America play a fundamental role in assisting thousands of students to pursue overseas studies. These organisations exhibit in our events because they know that our fairs draw in record numbers of students year after year. They present seminars and meet directly with students, supporting their future ambitions once they decide on their course and institution.

BMI Latin American fairs are well attended by key country groups and national advising bodies
