Brazil remains one of the world’s largest international student source countries with over 40,000 Brazilian tertiary students studying abroad annually, and many more enrolled in language or secondary programs. Despite reported political unrest and economic difficulties, the Brazilian Real appreciated against the US Dollar more than any other currency from March 2016 to February 2017, making studying abroad even more affordable. Combined with a deeply-rooted tradition for overseas study, and an unwavering passion and curiosity for all things international, the Brazilian market remains one of the most sought after for foreign universities.
FPP has been organizing Student Fairs in Brazil semi-annually since 2001. These Fairs have grown to become the largest in terms of exhibitor numbers and cities visited per year, and are renowned for attracting high-quality students. FPP’s events in Brazil are now the only students fairs supported by BELTA, (Brazilian Educational & Language Travel Association). In addition, EduCanada and Education New Zealand continue to entrust FPP to organize their official Brazil Fairs.

Brazil remains one of the world’s largest international student source countries with over 40,000 Brazilian tertiary students studying abroad annually, and many more enrolled in language or secondary programs. Despite reported political unrest and economic difficulties, the Brazilian Real appreciated against the US Dollar more than any other currency from March 2016 to February 2017, making studying abroad even more affordable. Combined with a deeply-rooted tradition for overseas study, and an unwavering passion and curiosity for all things international, the Brazilian market remains one of the most sought after for foreign universities.
Recently, the Brazilian government introduced a set of measures to improve the country’s educational performance, including directing 10% of the country’s GDP to education. Further the number of students attending private schools has increased dramatically, as parents ensure that their child is receiving a high level of education, learning in small classes with better facilities.
Although Brazil boasts 11 of the top 30 universities in the entire region, a relatively small proportion of Brazilian students have access to quality higher education. This is partially due to the number of public universities not meeting demand, with now over 70% of students in post-secondary education enrolled at private institutions. Brazilian students are well-aware that the best chances of furthering their education are more likely to be found abroad.
Studying abroad and international travel are as much a part of the Brazilian culture as samba or the sport of futebol. With Brazil very prominent on the global stage following the hosting of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, the desire and intention for Brazilian students to study and travel abroad is stronger than ever before.
The city of Campinas has the second highest level of connectivity in the country, and is the fourth largest banking centre. Campinas is recognised as the country’s capital of science, technology and innovation, and is located in the state of São Paulo; the most populous, wealthy and industrialized Brazilian state.
Sao Paulo is the capital city of the state of São Paulo, and is the main financial centre of Brazil. The city is not only the largest in Brazil but also the largest in all of South America, and has one of the top 10 largest metropolitan areas in the world. São Paulo is a global city with strong influences in commerce, finance, entertainment and the arts.
Brasilia is a planned city and the capital of Brazil. It is one of the newest capital cities in the world and is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Strong service sectors including communications, banking and finance reflect the city’s status as a governmental centre. Brasilia is a fast growing city and has a population of almost 3 million.
Rio de Janeiro is the most visited city in the entire Southern Hemisphere and is regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful urban centres. The city is the second largest in Brazil, and the third largest in the whole of South America.
Porto Alegre is the capital city of Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost Brazilian state which shares borders with Argentina and Uruguay. Porto Alegre is one of the most important cultural, economic and political centres of Brazil.
"FPP brings a lot of people from different cities from around the world. People coming here are really interested to go abroad, they have already read about the schools they come and ask specific questions."
Oscar Blanco
ILAC (Canada)
"I do FPP fairs so I can speak directly with the students and get an idea of what they are looking for and what the market is. The quality of students is excellent and I think that is very important because you do meet a lot of people at these fairs. But they’re very well screened so we definitely get bookings through it - that’s why I am here."
Blaise Barham
Southern Lakes English College (New Zealand)
"We’ve been attending FPP events in different countries for more than 3 years now. It is a great opportunity for us to meet quality students. They have a tool (the app) to do the follow-up online which is very helpful so we can keep in touch with the students."
Rafael Malagrino
Oxford International Education Group (United Kingdom, Canada, USA)
"The Middle East fairs were really great. The way it was organized, the team, quality of students, and most importantly the app. It was a great experience."
Sarah El Gohary
New York Institute of Technology (USA)
"I've been attending FPP fairs for about eight years, and I'm very happy to say that the quality of the students has definitely improved. I was just in Mexico with FPP, now in Brazil, and I'm doing Spain, Italy and Ireland with FPP. Then next month, we'll be doing the fairs in Colombia and Panama as well."
Jose Balcaceres
George Brown College (Canada)
"I would like to thank you for all the support and help you gave me during these 2 days. It has been a great pleasure to get to know you and the team. The fair was well-organized and the quality of leads was great. I actually enjoyed talking to many students and can't wait to join the next year's event."
Sanaz Najiyan

"Around 2004, 2005 we were looking to come into the South American market and my former colleague recommended that we try FPP. We get exposure and good students. I have seen FPP grow to the success that they are nowadays."
Judith Genat

"I have to tell you that I’ve been back and forth with some families I met on the Tour who are planning to visit this summer AND I had two gents fly out and spend all last week here on campus. They applied the next day and will start this September. Can’t have much more immediate results than that."
Dan Seneker
Bishop's University
"I am so pleased with the last Tour. Within a month of it ending, I have had one student apply from St Clare’s, another student from Lytham St Anne’s came to visit EHL with her Dad this past week. Another student from Ashville College has applied for our July intake. So a very productive Tour so far"
Louise Pitcher
Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne
"I liked the quality of the students and the schools. The schools were a good match for the University of Redlands. I received a few applications. I am happy with the tour and the organization"
Kenley Jones
University of Redlands
"We have been participating in FPP’s fairs for about 4 years now, and participate in all their regions (Latin America, Mexico, Middle East, Asia, Europe, India) and we have had a great turn around. Every fair season for us FPP is a must. I love how user friendly their online portal is. We are able to get students (leads) that match our profile, upload the leads that we collected at fairs and even send them email blasts from the portal. I would definitely recommend FPP to any university that wants great and qualified leads."
Melanie Munoz-Delgado
Full Sail University (USA)
"We’ve had a lot of interest. The level and quality of the students has been amazing and the organisation of the fair and the app has been great. I like that you can write down information about them and rate them, and I can follow up with the students afterwards. It has been very helpful."
Kimberley Nance
The University of Melbourne (Australia)
"I have to tell you that I've been back and forth with some families I met on the road show who are planning to visit this summer AND I had two gents fly out and spend all last week here on campus who I met at the London fair and applied the next day. They loved it here and will start this September. Can't have much more immediate results than that!"
Dan Seneker
Bishop's University (Canada)
"We've been doing FPP's Student Fairs for three years now. We started doing Brazil with three cities, then five cities, now we're doing six cities. We've been in Vietnam, in India, in UAE with FPP. This is a great platform for student recruitment. FPP is very professional."
Tshidiso Konese
University of Johannesburg (South Africa)
"I have been doing FPP fairs for two years. I do them because they are really well-organised fairs, good quality students, communication with the staff before, during and after if fantastic and for me it is an extremely good recruitment tool."
Carlos Meza
The University of Sydney (Australia)
"I've been working in the education market for more than a decade. It's been a pleasure, as it usually is, for me and the university to be at FPP events. I'm really a faithful customer, after years with the British Council and the University of Bristol ... coming to the events and leaving happy, and coming back to the next event and the next year. So it's been really great."
Rodrigo Gaspar
University of Strathclyde (United Kingdom)
"This is our third time participating in the FPP fairs, and we're absolutely delighted with the turnout. Each year, we've gone from strength to strength. The expertise that FPP has brought with them to organise a fantastic venue, a wonderful location, and really high quality students has been fantastic. We can see just how much business our education providers are doing here. We're absolutely delighted this year, as we have been with previous years, and we look forward to continuing our work with FPP."
Lisa Futschek
Education New Zealand (New Zealand)
"I am delighted to inform you that both fairs went really well for British Council IELTS. We engaged with more than a 100 potential clients in Madrid and in Barcelona the same. Please count on with us for next year on all your fairs!"
Araceli Huici
British Council (United Kingdom)
"I wanted to personally thank you for all the support you and your team provided during all of our events. The logistics and presentation level was absolutely marvelous, we had no problem with anything during the time of each fair in each city. We really enjoyed every fair, it has been quite an experience for all of us. We have reported everything to our colleagues and superiors, including the ministries ... it’s safe to say it has not been our last cooperation with FPP."
Lubomír Majerník
Centre for International Cooperation (Czech Republic)
"The fairs in every city were excellent, I only heard praise! Organization, quality and number of visitors, coffee break... all very good! Congratulations!"

"We engaged with more than 200 potential clients in Madrid and Barcelona. Please count on with us for next year on all your fairs!"
Araceli Huici
British Council (UK)
"FPP is not only the best education fair organizer, but is also an important strategic partner for us. They clearly prioritise customer satisfaction and since we first met them 12 years ago, they have constantly outdone themselves in organizing and managing education fairs.
Since 2014 we have been hiring FPP to organize our own event - AC EXPO - the largest education fair in Brazil for students willing to go to Australian and New Zealand. It has been a real pleasure to work with them and the results have been incontestable. I have no doubt that education providers may accomplish very good ROI after an FPP fair."
Vinicius Barreto
Australian Centre (Brazil, Colombia, Australia)
"We have been working with FPP for 8 years. It has been really good working with them, the organisation and quality of students is very good. We recommend FPP and EDUEXPOS."
Vitor Meneghetti
Hello Study (Brazil & Australia)
"We’ve been doing FPP for the past four and a half years, because of the quality of students. The number of applications that are converting are really good. It is part of our marketing plan every year now."
