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.
