The Journey to Settling in the UK: Immigration, Education and Careers
Moving to the United Kingdom is rarely one decision. It is a journey made up of visa and residency routes, education choices and career planning, each with its own rules, costs and timing. On Tuesday 15 September 2026, Turkish Business Forum brings three specialists together in a single online session to map that journey from beginning to end.
Over ninety minutes, an immigration lawyer, an international education consultant and an HR specialist will set out what actually works in practice: which routes lead to settlement, how UK universities assess applicants, and what British employers look for. The session will be moderated by Osman Turan Bilgiç (E-Com Global) and closes with an extended live question-and-answer segment, so you can put your own circumstances to the panel.
