Spotlight on Luxembourg: Wittenborg Joins Country’s Traditional Student Fair

Allegra Zazzaro Connects with Students and Professionals from Various Nationalities

To promote Wittenborg’s education programmes and inform prospective international students, Admissions Administrator Allegra Zazzaro represented the school at Luxembourg’s Student Fair (‘Studentefoire’) from 24 to 25 October. Held at the University of Luxembourg’s Belval campus, the event was organised by the country’s Ministry of Research and Higher Education in close collaboration with the Association of Luxembourg Student Unions (Association des Cercles d'Étudiants Luxembourgeois). 

The fair attracted over 6,000 visitors from various countries, including Luxembourg, France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Russia and Ukraine. More than 120 higher education institutions were represented, offering attendees the opportunity to learn more about their courses, structures and selection processes. Moreover, the event also featured lectures and webinars. 

Zazzaro commented that the fair was incredibly beneficial for focusing on the European Union market and connecting with potential students. According to her, it provided valuable opportunities to gain deeper insights into current market trends and understand what students are seeking today.

“I enjoyed meeting international students, guiding them in their decisions, helping them explore their passions and offering useful tips. Additionally, connecting with other Admissions Administrators to exchange knowledge was very rewarding,” she said. 

Zazzaro highlighted that she had the chance to engage with students of multiple nationalities interested in Wittenborg’s business and economic pathways. For her, one particularly fulfilling interaction was with a student who had not initially considered a business focus due to her struggles with self-esteem and her cultural background.  

“After I explained what the field entails and the different pathways available, she began to overcome her doubts and started to believe in her potential in an area she once thought was beyond reach. Therefore, no matter which path the students choose, they will be happy and fulfilled if it resonates with their preferences. Our job is to help them find the most suitable direction and be confident in their choices,” she emphasised.
