Trips for students can range from general tours that combine several subjects to those with a much more specified and tailored focus. For a very constructive and informative excursion, it is useful to base the trip on a particular event or conference. This gives students the chance to absorb themselves in a hands-on, first hand learning experience while attending a structured event. Most of the events and conferences take place in large cities in Europe or America, which gives scope for including other excursions in your itinerary. The chance to get involved in local culture, language and life is also an added bonus to these conference and event based trips for students.

Outlined below are suggestions for educational events in the UK

The Salon International is held in the UK and is a large, international hairdressing event. The event is made up of an array of live shows, demonstrations and educational sessions. Fashionable, innovative and cutting edge styles and techniques are everywhere and students can expand their knowledge, their skill repertoire and take home lots of ideas and inspiration.

The Salon International plans to feature The Hair Show and Salon Live in its full and exciting programme. There is a specific day set aside for student groups so you need to plan your trips for students taking this into account.
If you are looking into trips with more of a media or creative focus then The Production Show BVE, held in London, is a fantastic option. For students embracing a career in creative media, video, TV and film this is a dream come true. Attended by many big names in the business, there is the opportunity to get involved in seminars and workshops as well as trying out some of the new products and innovations on the market. Its a great event to inspire, educate and start networking with professionals in the industry.

Choosing either of the above venues gives lots of scope to extend your trips for students and include other interesting and educational aspects of London. Travelling by The Thames Clippers, for example, is a wonderful way for students to see the city, getting on and off as they please to visit places of specific significance to them. London has a long and fascinating history and the city today boasts some incredible monuments and sightseeing opportunities which stand as memoirs of times gone by. The London Eye, Buckingham Palace, The Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey are among many notable places to visit during a stay here.

There are several museums in the city, most of which are free and regardless of your focus of study there is something to suit everyone. From the Tate Modern to The Museum of London, the museums are all very well laid out and full of excellent information. A fitting end to a day in London is to soak up some of the citys night time caf culture and perhaps even watch one of the many West End theatre productions, famous throughout the world.
