As students around the world prepare to begin a new semester at university or college, the choice before them is more extensive than ever. From the perspective of the institutions, this makes communicating their offerings a priority.
Leading American higher education institution Northeastern University will host a series of events in India to provide prospective undergraduate and postgraduate students with a unique platform to learn more about the various education opportunities available.
The Global Expos will take place in Hyderabad and Mumbai on 24 and 25 August respectively, creating an opportunity for attendees to interact with university representatives and gain valuable insights into life at Northeastern University.

“My career has been one in which I have always followed my passion for being in an institution that is global in nature, and that’s accessible to students who come from all walks of life, and who come from all over the world,” he says.
