The Tour, in its 15th year, will visit 40 countries with over 360 of the world's international top business schools. This all-inclusive suite of educational events has become the world?s most successful event of its kind and has helped place thousands of MBA candidates in top business schools of their choice.

The fair provides MBA candidates across the globe the chance to meet face-to-face with the admissions officers and alumni of prestigious business schools as they shortlist the right school for their MBA studies. Candidates can obtain information on full-time, part-time and distance learning MBA programs, fees, admissions, scholarships, financial aid, the GMAT test and graduate MBA career opportunities.
