This Year's Universities Week Engaged 80 Global Institutions and Alumni from 22 Top Universities
Earlier this month, Universities Week 2025 at St Catherine’s was a vibrant celebration of opportunity, exploration, and connection.
Beginning on Monday, 15 September, with inspiring virtual alumni chats, and culminating on Thursday, 18 September, with our largest-ever Universities Fair, the week brought our community together in dynamic and meaningful ways.
From the very first day, our students benefitted from the wisdom of our global alumni community, who joined to share their experiences of university life from 22 universities in the U.S., the U.K., Europe. These conversations gave our students a first-hand perspective on studying abroad, adapting to new cultures, and pursuing ambitions beyond the classroom.
The week continued with a series of panel presentations that equipped families with practical insights: navigating the university application process, exploring opportunities for student athletes, and understanding the diverse pathways available in higher education worldwide. Parents and students alike appreciated these engaging sessions that provided both knowledge and confidence for the journey ahead.
The highlight of the week was the 2025 Universities Fair, which this year welcomed a record-breaking 80 world-class universities and educational institutions from across the globe — double the number from last year. Our campus came alive with energy and curiosity as students and families embraced this unique opportunity to:
- Explore diverse future pathways
- Gain first-hand insights into university life around the world
- Connect directly with admissions representatives
