Commenting on the event, Professor Cedwyn Fernandes, Pro-Vice Chancellor of Middlesex University and Director

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).”

strong Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.46 per cent, 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
