Overseas study enters a period of diverse choices. The 2027 Shanghai Study Abroad and Real Estate Expo will open in March. One stop comparison of college majors

Studying abroad is moving from a "single choice" to a "multiple choice". There are multiple paths coexisting, such as studying abroad at a young age, applying for undergraduate and master's degrees, Sino foreign cooperative education, and overseas exchange programs. The logic of choosing schools has gradually shifted from "selecting schools by ranking" in the past to "comprehensive planning based on majors, regions, employment, and budgets". For families, studying abroad is no longer a one-time decision, but a set of educational plans that require years of advance planning.

Diversified choices bring richer opportunities and more complex information. Within the same country, there are significant differences in college resources, living costs, and employment ecology among different cities; The educational system, application cycle, and cost structure vary from country to country. The core issues that parents are generally concerned about are concentrated in several categories: which path is suitable for their children, the real admission requirements of the target school and major, the overall budget and time arrangement, and the employment connection after graduation in the local area or returning to China. These issues often require a comprehensive evaluation based on the child's grades, interests, and family conditions, making it difficult to make independent judgments based on fragmented information.

Another layer of complexity in study abroad planning is that it is often interconnected with other family arrangements. For example, the arrangement of accompanying status for young students studying abroad, the matching of study destinations with future property areas, and the impact of identity planning on further education and employment may all be considered when choosing a school. This requires parents to have access to professional opinions covering multiple dimensions such as education, identity, and assets during the information acquisition stage.

Offline expos exist to address the issue of information and resource dispersion. The 2027 Shanghai Overseas Immigrant Study and Property Expo, as well as the Enterprise Overseas Development and Financial Services Expo, will be held from March 26 to 28, 2027 at the Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center. It will last for three days and is expected to attract approximately 8000 visitors. The exhibition will set up a study abroad section, with exhibitors including representatives from overseas universities, educational consulting institutions, language training institutions, and study abroad financial service institutions. It will also provide school selection consultation and special explanations to help families complete multi-dimensional comparisons between universities and majors within a limited time.

For universities and educational institutions, the value of exhibiting lies in four aspects. Firstly, directly reaching parents and students with clear intentions to study abroad, with concentrated intentions and efficient communication; Secondly, establish a credible image of universities and institutions through on-site presentations and booth exchanges; Thirdly, collaborate with language training, financial services, real estate, and immigration agencies to form channels within the educational ecosystem; Fourthly, accumulate on-site consultation data to provide reference for subsequent enrollment and market activities.

For families planning to study abroad, attending the conference allows them to obtain application information and fee structures from multiple countries and universities at once, verify course and admission details face-to-face with representatives of the universities, and obtain preliminary answers to language planning, visa preparation, funding arrangements, and other related issues on-site, laying a solid foundation for overall education planning.

During the exhibition, we will organize college lectures, school selection consultations, and special topic presentations. Colleges, institutions, and families interested in exhibiting or attending can consult through the exhibition hotline 13681692751 (also WeChat) or visit the official website www.qs-expo.com for more information.

When studying abroad evolves from "single choice" to "diversified planning", comprehensive and efficient information comparison becomes the key to making rational decisions for families. The Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center in March provides a centralized communication and on-site Q&A platform for families and institutions interested in international education, which is worth including in the schedule.
