GETEX Spring 2024 Connects 15,600

Aspiring Students With Top International

Educational Institutions

The Global Education and Training Exhibition Spring 2024 (GETEX Spring 2024), the UAE’s leading
education and student recruitment training event, concluded on April 26, 2024, at the Dubai World

Trade Center, allowing students to take advantage of numerous educational possibilities.

The GETEX Spring edition attracted 15,600 students seeking opportunities in higher and further

education, encompassing undergraduate and postgraduate programs, applied education, and
professional development courses. The event catered to a diverse demographic over three days,
featuring a series of over 20 seminars, an industry – academia innovation conference and workshops
for career counsellors.

Discussions focused on key themes such as AI, sustainability, and leadership, taking into account the
evolving educational landscape. This year’s event also saw the Chinese pavilion participate for the first
time, with 21 universities offering their specialized programmes with English as the medium of
instruction.

Commenting on the event, Professor Cedwyn Fernandes, Pro-Vice Chancellor of Middlesex
University and Director Middlesex University Dubai, one of the most successful international
university campuses in UAE, said: “GETEX serves as a vital platform for universities such as
Middlesex University (MDX) Dubai to connect with a diverse range of talents. As one of the biggest
education events in the region, GETEX puts MDX in the center of the action, allowing students to easily
access information about our exceptional International Foundation Programme (IFP), 70+ quality UK
undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, and our renowned MBA programmes. They even have the
unique and invaluable opportunity to meet current MDX students and ask them directly about their
university experience and apply on the spot. GETEX demonstrates the UAEs innovative approaches to
education, cutting-edge research, and technology integration, positioning the UAE as a hub for

educational innovation. For September 2024, Middlesex University Dubai will be introducing various
new exciting programmes, including BA Honours Fashion (Design Technologies), MSc Financial
Technology, MSc Legal Technology, MSc Sport Performance Analysis and the new MDX MBA (Daytime
Delivery).”

UAE’s education sector is poised for tremendous growth. By 2028, the country’s education market is
expected to grow at a strong Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.46 percent, translating into a
projected increase in market size of USD 5.41 billion. This growth trajectory extends to the technical
education sector as well, where both enrollment numbers and revenue are expected to steadily rise in
the coming years.
