many universities were offering courses in psychology but I have a few options that I will go home and research more about.”

For 17-year-old Emirati students Abdulla Alshammar, Essa Mohammed and Mohammad Khalid, this was the first university expo they had

pursue, so we looked at the various stalls and collected brochures from there. It is an important decision so we have a lot to think about.”

With the onslaught of artificial intelligence (https://www.edarabia.com/university-launches-artificial-intelligence-course-dubai/) and machine
learning, picking the right course for undergraduate and postgraduate studies has become more important than ever. Experts have suggested

including never-seen-before positions.
Earlier this year, a QS World Future Skills Index found that the UAE was the most prepared Arab country to meet future job market demands in
the green, AI, and digital sectors.
