UAE - A destination on the rise

The education industry in the UAE continues to grow in both size and quality, making it one of the leading educational hubs in the world. Yet with pressure mounting and competition intensifying, how will UAE-based institutions increase their international student numbers in order to meet their rising enrolment targets?

Recruiters working at institutions in the UAE know that one of the most effective strategies they can have is a strong network of educational travel agents around the world who can represent them and send them students.

BMI helps international student recruiters make those connections at the Study in UAE Agent Workshop in Dubai.

Benefits of attending the Study in UAE Workshop

Pre-schedule meetings

Hold 21 one-to-one meetings with your choice of 50 carefully pre-screened education agents, scheduled in advance using the Marcom system.

Strengthen new relationships

Experience an integrated programme including a networking reception, lunches and dinner to complement your meetings, allowing you to strengthen new relationships in a relaxed environment.

Maximise your budget

Attend another BMI event (we run 80+ a year!) and take advantage of our package discounts for events in the UAE and around the world.

Limited availability!

The Study in the UAE Agent Workshop is specifically designed for UAE-based educational institutions.

We maintain an attendance ratio of two agents for each institution to ensure that you meet with enough prospective partners to grow your enrolments. At the same time, we know that you need a small enough crowd to help you forge and solidify relationships.

After two days, you’ll be able to leave knowing every agent, and just as importantly, they’ll know you.

This is a limited capacity event and spaces will go fast! Register your interest in our 2022 event via the form below.

Take advantage of these UAE focussed recruitment events in 2021

In the first half of the year, you can participate in a number of online events to build new academic partnerships or promote your institution to international students via BMI-hosted webinars or TalkGlobalStudy, our virtual recruitment platform.

Due to the ever-increasing focus on education in the Gulf, during the second half of the year we've devoted an entire series of education events in the UAE dedicated to international education, student recruitment and academic partnerships. UAE International Education Week happens every October, receiving government support and region-wide press coverage. The week consists of our international schools forum dedicated to the K-12 sector, followed by our main student fairs and chauffeured trips to high schools in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and culminates with the lavish BMI Gulf Scholarship Summit.
