The British Council hosts 'Alumni UK' a global network that connects UK Alumni (people who have studied in or with the UK as an overseas student) from around the world. Registering with Alumni UK allows you to expand your international network, exchange information with other UK Alumni that can help you in your career development, and access exclusive events for skills and career development. In addition to online opportunities, the British Council in Japan periodically organises in-person events for UK Alumni based in Japan.
Our next in-person event will be the ‘Alumni UK breakfast meetup’ on Saturday 31 May 2025. This will be an opportunity to meet and interact with a group of diverse UK Alumni in an informal and friendly atmosphere. If you are an international UK Alumni and not yet registered on the Alumni UK platform, please register today and join us at this meetup.
Planned highlights of the event:
- Connect with people of diverse age groups who have studied at various UK universities and courses, at different periods of time.
- Special English language session delivered by a British Council Teaching Centre teacher.
Enjoy conversations in English on a range of current affairs topics. - Opportunity to share your experience and knowledge with next generation of students (offer holders) who are starting their undergraduate/postgraduate studies with UK universities/Higher Education Institutions later this year.
*We are inviting offer holders who are participating in the British Council pre-departure briefing in the afternoon to this event.
