September brings a series of opportunities for BISP students and families to explore higher education pathways, connect directly with university representatives and learn more about studying around the world.

Three events will take place throughout the month, leading up to the BISP University Fair 2026, our largest higher education event of the year, welcoming representatives from more than 115 higher education institutions to campus.

Mini University Fair 

Students and parents will have the opportunity to meet one-to-one with admissions counsellors from selective US universities in a smaller, more personal setting. Representatives from nine institutions will be available to answer questions and help students learn more about their universities and the US admissions process.

Date: Friday, 4 September 2026
Time: 9.30–11.00am
Place: BISP Auditorium

Introduction to Liberal Arts Universities

Representatives from Reed College, Whitman College and Wesleyan University will deliver a joint presentation exploring the benefits of a US liberal arts and sciences education and the flexibility and breadth this approach can offer students.

Date: Monday, 7 September 2026
Time: 5.00–6.30pm
Place: BISP Innovation Hub

BISP University Fair 2026 

The main event of the month will bring representatives from more than 115 higher education institutions from around the world to BISP, giving students the chance to explore universities, courses, admissions, scholarships and future study opportunities all in one place.

A programme of workshops will complement the fair, covering topics including Business, Engineering and Technology, Medicine and healthcare pathways, Hospitality, Arts and Portfolio, Athletics, experiential learning, university applications, financial aid and finding the right university fit. 

Date: Monday, 21 September 2026
Time: 10.15am–2.45pm
Place: BISP Refectory

Whether students are already thinking about particular universities or are just beginning to explore their options, these events offer a valuable chance to ask questions, discover new possibilities and start thinking about what comes next. We encourage students in Years 9–13 and their families to save the dates and make the most of these opportunities to meet university representatives here at BISP.
