World University Rankings compiler Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) will hold a World MBA & Masters Fair, Oct. 31, at the Millennium Seoul Hilton.

Over 65 universities including Imperial College London, the University of Michigan and the London School of Economics and Political Science will be present at the fair.

Top-ranked Asian universities such as Nanyang Technological University and the National University of Singapore will also take part.

Attendees will be able to seek information from admissions officers as well as network with alumni who serve in leadership positions at top companies.

They will also get the upper hand in admissions by attending related seminars and GMAT strategy sessions.

“Employers across the world want MBA graduates more than ever, but such graduates are particularly desirable in Asia,” QS CEO Nunzio Quacquarelli said.

“The demand for MBA grads increased by 17 percent in the region ― significantly above the global average and Korea remains the world's 10th-largest MBA market.”

Candidates attending the upcoming World Grad School Tour, dedicated to aspiring master’s and Ph.D. students, and the World MBA Tour, dedicated to aspiring MBA students, will be eligible to apply for exclusive scholarships.

The cumulative value of these scholarships is over $1.2 million.
