16th Nairobi International Education Fair
I have been attending “The Nairobi International Education Fair (NIEF)” for the last three years (from the year 2014, when I was in my 5th year of studies). I have reaped huge benefits from the fair and I will still attend the 19th One.
It was incepted in 1999 (17 years ago) and has come to establish itself as Kenya’s leading and most result-oriented Education exhibition.
For full schedule and pre-registration, you can visit the registration page here.
It is touted as a 4 day event that is held in Nairobi Kenya, providing a one-stop forum for local and international colleges and universities to engage students, school leavers, teachers and parents on careers and training programmes being offered by those institutions.
The Fair is organized by Express Communications Ltd, a leading provider of Business Information, Contacts and Names of Persons who are shaping the future of Kenya.
Here are top 4 reasons why you should attend the fair and how exactly will it be beneficial in fulfilling your educational dreams.
1.Entry is free for all.

2.Free Career Seminars
Career seminars bringing together students, school leavers, parents, teachers, career counselors, representatives of employers in industry, colleges and universities are normally organized during the Fair.
You will also have the opportunity to interact face to face with local and international colleges and universities and thousands of fellow aspiring students, parents, career guidance teachers and working professionals planning to pursue further studies in Kenya and abroad.
The Exhibitors include respected institutions of higher education from Kenya, America, Canada, Denmark, European Union, Australia, Japan, India, Germany, Malaysia, Mauritius, New Zealand, Russia, Switzerland, UK, and UAE.
3.Counseling
Counselors, faculty, and representatives from the attending universities and supporting educational bodies (such as British Council-Kenya) will be present to quench your thirst of curiosity. You will be able to ask all sorts of questions related to admission procedures, visa procedures, courses, scholarships, career scope, working options and similar things.
4.A chance to win scholarships and fee waiver
Financial constraints is one of the main reasons behind students who are not able to enter and study in the University of their Choice. The fair also brings together scholarship bodies such as DAAD Africa and Erasmus Mundus, thus you will be exposed face to face to life changing opportunities.
