Host a UK Study Visit
Host a UK Study Visit
The Study Visits programme is dependent on the generous commitment of organisations prepared to host visits in each of the participating countries.
A wide variety of organisations in the UK manage visits on general education, vocational training or topics common to both areas.
If your organisation is involved in education and training and you would like to showcase your innovative work or good practice in a particular area, then why not apply to host a visit?
