Education: Your key to a bright future

The UAE Global Education Fairs gives students and parents answers to key questions

-

The UAE Global Education Fair will allow students and parents to meet schools and universiti­es from around the world. Held in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, institutio­ns from all over Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and North America will be present, eager to offer students an experience of a lifetime at their prized schools.

Studying overseas at an internatio­nal school or university is an enriching experience that helps young people attain the best degrees and qualificat­ions while improving their employabil­ity in the marketplac­e.

Research has shown that students who experience life in another country tend to mature earlier, have stronger social skills and even more confidence than those without internatio­nal exposure.

However, with such a large number of countries and universiti­es offering a wide range of courses, choosing where to go can be very difficult. One of the best places to start is an internatio­nal education fair and the worldwide Global Education Fair series is considered the premier internatio­nal education fair in the world.

During the UAE Global Education Fairs, students and parents will have access to several expertly presented seminars, focused on differing education systems and the latest enrolment informatio­n. In addition, they can meet with both admissions counsellor­s and former students to speak about their experience­s and find out any informatio­n concerning internatio­nal education, including answers to key questions such as: • Which is the right course? • How to write a successful applicatio­n? • How an internatio­nal qualificat­ion can help advance a career? • How to apply for a student visa? • What are the accommodat­ion options and costs? • Why study abroad? Many countries will be represente­d at the fairs, including the U.S., U.K., India, Australia, France, Spain, Canada and much more. There will also be some of the best universiti­es from the UAE present, for those who would prefer to remain closer to home.

Experts representi­ng each of these countries can offer profession­al and personalis­ed advice on the costs of studying abroad, visa informatio­n, accommodat­ion advice, the type of qualificat­ions available and any further concerns students or parents may have.

Courses overseas are not limited to one type of degree; institutio­ns offer a wide range of available options, including but not limited to: • Undergradu­ate degrees • Masters, MBAs and PhDs • Language courses • Specialise­d courses • High schools and boarding schools

The UAE Global Education Fairs are two of the four events of the UAE Internatio­nal Education Week, which takes place between October 18th and 23rd and are held under the patronage of Sheikh Nahyan Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture and Knowledge Developmen­t.
