“We were delighted to see the response from the students in UAE. Studying abroad is a unique experience that helps the student gain confidence by living among new people, discover a new culture and a whole new world apart from learning the selected curriculum. Our roadshow has been a great platform for UAE students who are keen to study abroad. It’s an end-to-end process where the students and parents are educated and informed about choices they can make to secure a bright career,” said Maher El Bakry, IDP Middle East Regional Director.

There were 15 universities from the UK at the roadshow including top-ranked University of Birmingham, University of Nottingham, University of Southampton, University of Sussex and University of St. Andrews. Australia was well represented in the event with top universities like Monash University, The University of Melbourne, The University of Sydney, University of Adelaide and University of New South Wales. Nine other Australian universities also took part in the roadshow. There were nine universities from the USA and four from Canada.

IDP has placed more than 400,000 students into quality institutions in Australia, the UK, the USA, Canada and New Zealand. With its vast network and expertise of staff resources, IDP Education is a global leader in international student placement services.

“Studying abroad has multiple benefits of learning under well-trained educators and learning beyond the regular classroom format. Students are trained to change the way they think apart from developing their language skills. At the end of a successful term completion, there is an international exposure and global job prospects to choose from depending on the student’s area of interest,” added El Bakry. — news@khaleejtimes.com
