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 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
revenue are expected to steadily rise in the coming years.
The event's success indicates how the UAE acknowledges the transformative power of higher
education in generating opportunities and promoting societal advancement. The UAE's National
Strategy for Higher Education 2030 aligns with this vision and strives to achieve the highest
scientific and professional education standards, demonstrating the country's commitment to
shaping skilled generations for the future.
Tanya Mokle, Director of GETEX, stated: “GETEX Spring 2024 was a success in spite of the
fact that over a dozen school visits were cancelled because of the recent floods and
inaccessible roads. The adverse weather conditions hindered normal school operations for the
week and made it challenging for families to attend GETEX. Despite the lower visitor turn-out
due to the unexpected weather and unprecedented after-effects, GETEX experienced high-
quality visitors, with many universities satisfied with admissions achieved during the exhibition.
“As committed organisers of GETEX with the mission to provide our participants with the best
possible access to students, we will provide exhibitors of GETEX Spring 2024 with continued
marketing support leading up to their September student-intake. Additionally, our aim is to
facilitate a student-outreach programme for universities especially focusing on students in the
Northern Emirates who were unable to attend GETEX because of the unprecedented rains and
consequent flooding. We take pride in our University-School relationships and believe that a
large number of higher education institutions in the UAE depend on GETEX as their primary
source for student recruitment each year. We will not let them down,” Mokle, added.
Another UAE-based higher education forerunner reiterated their satisfaction with GETEX 2024
fulfilling their annual student recruitment drive. Vignesh Unadkat, COO at Thumbay Group,
Gulf Medical University said: “GETEX is a valuable event that enables us to effectively assist
applicants, parents, and other participants within the higher education fraternity. Over the course
of three days, the exhibition provided a structured environment for our conversations, aiding us
in better understanding student queries and providing accurate responses. Alongside the
various medical degree courses offered by all six colleges under Gulf Medical University, this
year, we introduced a diverse range of new courses catering to various interests for studying
abroad.”
With several leading educational institutions from around the world attending, GETEX has
become the region's most prestigious student recruitment event over the past three decades.
The latest event's success serves as more evidence of the platform's dedication to promoting
educational excellence and deepening meaningful connections in the shifting educational
landscape.
