More choices, wider options at Gulf News Edufair in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi's upcoming Edufair promises a wealth of educational options for students and parents in October. The two-day event at Radisson Blu Hotel & Resort, Abu Dhabi Corniche, will host over 20 universities and institutions from the UAE and abroad. Edufair's popularity stems from its comprehensive approach to the university decision-making process, offering students a chance to meet admissions teams, career counsellors, and immigration specialists.

David George, Director of GN Media, emphasizes the importance of beyond just university name, urging students to seek information about study opportunities, career prospects, and professional development. The event will feature programmes spanning various fields, such as AI, robotics, engineering, business, healthcare, and sustainable architecture.

Universities will provide details on tuition fees, scholarships, admission requirements, and available courses. Some may even offer application reviews, conditional offers, grants, fee waivers, and special discounts to eligible students.

Edufair will also address the crucial link between education and employment, with career service providers and counsellors guiding students on how different degrees align with evolving job markets. Tina Bhakthavalsalan, Director of GN Media Events & Special Features, highlights the event's aim to connect students with professionals and institutions that can help them make informed decisions and proceed with confidence.

Visitors interested in studying abroad can consult international study consultants representing destinations worldwide, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Asia. They will discuss practical aspects of international education, such as university selection, applications, scholarships, visas, degree pathways, and post-study work opportunities.

In addition to the exhibition, Edufair Abu Dhabi will host panel discussions, presentations, and expert advice on topics like career planning, entrepreneurship, overseas education, and strategies for applying to competitive universities. The event is free to attend, requiring prior registration.
