Meet affluent local and expat students making their final study plans.
Recruit students via national scholarship programmes and from affluent expatriate groups that make up a vital recruitment demographic in the region.
This biannual fair enables you to meet thousands of students making their final study plans in two major cities in one week.
And once a year, we also celebrate UAE International Education Week where we pack three different types of events into one smoothly organised series of recruitment opportunities.
BMI has a close working relationship with GEMS Education, which has a network of 49 UAE-based independent schools. This network of high-end schools is invited to attend our fair to meet international education providers such as universities, colleges, language schools and vocational training centres.
If you are a GEMS For Life University Partner, please contact us to understand the special benefits and pricing available to you when exhibiting at the UAE Global Education Fair.
To bolster your recruitment efforts, BMI takes a limited number of accredited institutions to visit leading private Emirati and international schools in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
These exclusive schools have been carefully selected for their quality curriculum and their enthusiasm to proactively prepare their students for studying abroad. Given their reputation in the UAE, a very high proportion of these students will travel overseas for their undergraduate studies.
At each school, you will participate in an on-campus fair that will directly connect you with senior students, parents and high school counsellors.
Meet thousands of affluent local and expat students as well as those funded via national scholarship programmes during your two-city trip, which includes our main fairs plus escorted visits to top private and international schools.
