In a number of countries, the British Council hosts associations of alumni of British universities. These provide an opportunity to meet people who have shared similar experiences and can help you to widen your professional contacts. Levels of activity vary from country to country with some offering directories of UK alumni in the country, newsletters, job listings and events. Following are details of some of the countries that run UK Alumni Associations. The British Council in Australia is interested in setting up an association for Australian alumni of UK universities.
Alumni can register online.
The Chinese Alumni of British Higher Education Institutions publishes a directory of its 2200 members, hosts a website with an email directory and bulletin boards, publishes a British in China magazine and also sends members the British Council newsletter with details of events in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chongqing.
