As the sands continue to shift, the preferences of prospective students have also changed in terms of where to pursue higher education and how that education might help them achieve their goals.
During this time, the UAE has further strengthened its position as the leading hub for higher education in the region and has set its sights well beyond the Arabian Peninsula. Armed with the right tools, the UAE has the ambition, the dedication and the commitment to achieve its vision.
