As part of the work carried out by various BritCham Chile partners in the educational field, we invite our community to participate in a series of activities aimed at promoting academic exchange and strengthening ties between Chile and the United Kingdom.

Over the next few weeks, three of the Chamber’s partner organizations—Studies Planet, Pitt Study UK, and Academic Action—will be holding events for educational institutions, students, and families interested in learning about study and collaboration opportunities with the British education system.

Below, we share the details of each of these initiatives.

Studies Planet: Networking Day and British Education Fair

BritCham Chile invites members and non-members to participate in two events taking place on Tuesday, March 17, at the InterContinental Hotel in Santiago. These events are organized by our partner, Studies Planet, a British company with over 20 years of experience promoting education in the United Kingdom.

Both events aim to strengthen ties between educational institutions in Chile and the United Kingdom, creating spaces for dialogue, collaboration, and international outreach in the academic field.

The day will begin with the Coffee & Networking Event for Educational Institutions, which will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the InterContinental Hotel, located at Av. Vitacura 2885, Las Condes. This activity is geared towards representatives of educational institutions and seeks to foster the exchange of experiences and the development of networks with universities in the United Kingdom.

Both activities will take place at the InterContinental Hotel, making this event a valuable opportunity to connect British higher education with the Chilean academic community and strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries.

Pitt Study UK: British Boarding School Fair in Santiago

BritCham Chile invites families and educational institutions to participate in the British Boarding School Fair, an event organized by its partner Pitt Study UK, which will bring together official representatives from ten prestigious boarding schools in the United Kingdom in Chile.

The event will take place on April 15th and 16th at the UC San Carlos de Apoquindo Club House (Av. Las Flores 13,000, Las Condes) and will offer a unique opportunity to learn in depth about the academic and educational programs offered by British boarding schools.

During the fair, attendees can learn about academic programs, extracurricular activities, admissions processes, and application requirements. They will also have the opportunity to ask questions directly to representatives from each institution, compare options, and schedule personalized interviews with the schools that interest them.

Boarding school education in the United Kingdom is recognized worldwide for its academic excellence, its focus on the holistic development of students, and its emphasis on developing key skills such as independence, leadership, and international outlook. This event will allow families and educational communities to learn firsthand how this experience can positively impact students’ academic and personal futures.

Participants will also receive specialized guidance on required English levels, exchange options, entry dates, and opportunities for support or scholarships, facilitating better planning of the process.
