Agency FAM-trip is a Familiarization Trip for Student Recruitment Agencies. In other words it is an organized tour when a group of 15-20 certified agencies visit your institution & some other universities during one trip. Normally 4-5 institutions participate in the FAM-trip as hosting universities.

Each Hosting University of the FAM-trip is getting the opportunity to introduce the university, showcase the campus and its facilities, and present all the benefits of partnership for Education Agents during the visit.

Benefits for University
  • High-efficiency
    During the FAM-trip the Agencies are getting their own experience in your campus, that is why it is a fruitful way to gain new partners. BUA's FAM-trip brings more Agents than if you invite Agencies on your own (because agencies want to visit several countries and universities in one tour as they have to pay a lot for the airtickets)
  • Agencies come to you
    A group of 15-20 Agencies will visit your University. The Agents will spend 2 days with you. You can make them fall in love with the University, so they recruit good students for you :)
  • Low-cost instrument
    Comparing to Agency Workshop, FAM-trip is 3 times cheaper.
  • Agencies from countries of your choice
    We do our best to bring Agencies from the countries requested by hosting universities
  • Certified Agencies only
    All agencies invited for the FAM-trip are certified by BUA (documents check, positive feedbacks from the universities)
  • Guaranteed quality
    You pay 50% before and 50% after the FAM-trip (if you are satisfied). We have 12-year experience in organizing Agency FAM-trips to partner universities.
