Some things in international student recruitment don’t change. In fact, some things are now more important than ever, like connecting in real-time to have meaningful conversations. The ability to ask questions and receive live, personal assistance from institutions can turn into a stand-out moment for a student before making the decision of a lifetime.

Our unique approach to recruitment events brings those conversations into a new, online space called TalkGlobalStudy, where you can connect and talk directly with students from the Gulf who are actively in the process of researching and planning their future international studies.

One of the best times to recruit in the UAE is surely during UAE International Education Week, held every October.

With three complementary events connecting you with students and stakeholders, held in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, you’re sure to have a cost-effective and productive experience.

UAE International Education Week programme includes:

• Gulf International Schools Forum & Workshop
• UAE Global Education Fair
• Gulf Scholarship Summit

Please note – We also have an online Partnership Workshop this March to enable institutions to connect with agents, high school counsellors and universities based in the Middle East.

UAE International Education Week kicks off with our Gulf International Schools Forum & Workshop, giving you a chance to establish and reinforce your relationships with principals and school counsellors from the best secondary schools from across the UAE and the Gulf including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain.

UAE International Education Week continues with our busy UAE Global Education Fair (also normally held in March) introducing you to students searching for their perfect course abroad and from within the UAE.

You can strengthen these connections further by joining our chauffeured visits to carefully selected international schools across Dubai and the Abu Dhabi, where you can present to students and their parents, as well as network with key school staff.

And the grand finale, the BMI Gulf Scholarship Summit, rounds off UAE International Education Week with a high-level networking event that connects you to the heads of the largest scholarship programmes in the Gulf.

To widen your network of influencers even further, add its sister event (BMI’s Global Scholarship Summit held online or in London) to your calendar and you’ll be able to meet and network with even more scholarship providers from over 70 governments and training companies around the world.

Taking place once a year, the Study in UAE Agent Workshop is an event designed to help UAE-based institutions increase their international student numbers in order to meet their rising enrolment targets.

Pre-screened student recruitment agents from around the world gather in Dubai to network and form new partnerships with schools, colleges and universities from the Emirates.
