A good education has immense long-term benefits and the UAE Global Education Fairs are here to guide students down the right path.
The UAE Global Education Fairs provide students with all the necessary tools to take the first important step toward realising their education goals. Students, parents and executives will have the opportunity to find out detailed information on the tremendous advantages of an educational experience either in the UAE or at an institution abroad.
Held in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, institutions from across Europe, Asia, Australia and North America will be present, eager to offer students an experience of a lifetime at their prized schools.
The United States of America will be this year's Country of Honour with a special pavilion for visitors to the fairs who wish to study in the United States. EducationUSA as well as the US Embassy will be present to advise students on the dream of studying in the US. Similarly, there will be many onshore and offshore institutions from India at the event, for students who wish to branch out and experience India, or even return home to study.
The chance to meet universities face to face, by interacting with official representatives and alumni, is a key benefit of international education fairs. The appeal of getting immediate personalised responses to questions, finding out more about the programmes and funding opportunities on offer, and how the application process works - these are all reasons to attend in person, rather than just sticking to online research.
Attending the Global Education Fair is also an opportunity to get a better idea of what university admissions officers are looking for - and a chance to start impressing them by showing you have the right qualities. Attributes such as determination, passion and focus were named among the most important.
During the events, visitors can talk directly with teachers, representatives and directors, from institutions around the world and get answers to key questions such as:
Which is the right course for me?
How do I write a successful application?
Why study abroad?
How can a qualification help advance my career?
How do I apply for a student visa?
What are the accommodation options and costs?
Which funding and scholarship options are available?
It is also valuable to talk to other students at the fairs. Everyone is there to find out more about the experience of studying, so don't be afraid, and politely ask the others their opinions about particular countries or institutions.
Leaving home is a big decision. It is particularly difficult for parents to let children travel abroad. But the academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, new friends and the chance to learn a new culture are just a few considerations that make the trip an exceptional experience. For some children and teenagers, it is an amazing time to develop, mature and become independent. For those who prefer to stay closer to home, some of the best education institutions in the UAE will be present at the fairs. Since the UAE's higher education system takes influence from France, Canada, Germany, Russia, the UK and the US, sometimes it's not necessary to travel so far for a world-class education.
With such a large number of countries and universities offering a wide range of courses, choosing where to study can be very difficult.
One of the best places to start is an international education fair and the worldwide Global Education Fairs series is considered the premier international education fair in the world.
At the fairs, visitors can meet experts from 15 countries including: United Arab Emirates; United States; United Kingdom; France; Switzerland; India; Australia; Germany; Canada; China; Cyprus; Ireland; Italy; Saudi Arabia and Sri Lanka.
The fairs will also feature several seminars conducted by institutions and national education agencies, including EducationUSA and Campus France. Each seminar will cover a different topic such as the education system, culture, visa process, type of courses, accommodation options, cost of living and most importantly how to select the best course for you. Visitors will have the opportunity to ask the experts questions at the end of each seminar.
Each seminar will be full of valuable information, so it is a good idea to check out the schedule and plan your day around the ones you want to attend. At the fair, seek out the institutions which most interest you, and ask them the questions you've prepared in advance and anything else that comes to mind that you are unsure of, or will help you choose the place you want to go and study.
Do not miss the opportunity to meet and speak directly with the representatives of some of the best language schools, colleges, business schools and universities in a single place and to find information on thousands of study options including:
