UAE: Master's degree still valuable? Employers say no in survey
A recent global survey has reignited a debate over the value of Master's degrees, with hiring trends showing employers are placing growing importance on practical experience and job-ready skills over academic credentials — a sentiment that is increasingly echoed in the UAE. Experts stressed that degrees are no longer a golden ticket, rather, they are one of many tools in a candidate's toolkit. According to the survey conducted by Resume Genius involving 1,000 hiring managers in the United States, 52 per cent said that employees with Master's degrees perform no better than those with a bachelor's degree and two years of experience. In fact, 10 per cent said the performance was worse. Yet, many still offer higher pay to candidates with advanced degrees, highlighting a lingering tension between perceived value and compensation expectations. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. Adaptable skillsets preferred This global trend resonates strongly within the UAE's evolving job market. Local educators and hiring experts are reporting a significant shift in mindset among employers, with a growing preference for candidates who bring hands-on experience and adaptable skillsets over traditional academic qualifications. 'Over the past decade, the perceived value of a Master's degree has undergone a significant transformation shaped by evolving labor market demands, technological disruption, and shifting societal expectations,' said Dr Adam Fenech, Provost at Canadian University Dubai. 'Traditionally seen as a marker of academic prestige and a pathway to career advancement, the Master's degree is now increasingly evaluated through a more pragmatic lens.' Educators like Dr Fenech are observing a surge in demand for micro-credentials, certifications, and modular learning. He explained that while traditional graduate programs still hold merit —particularly in cultivating integrative intelligence and ethical awareness — flexibility and real-world applicability have become critical to the educational value proposition. In the UAE, where high-growth sectors such as technology, healthcare, and engineering are booming, higher education institutions are retooling to meet the demand for skill-first education models. 'There is a clear shift from valuing traditional academic prestige to prioritising practical, skill-based credentials,' said Abdul Razzak, Manager of Career Services at BITS Pilani Dubai Campus. He noted that a 2023 LinkedIn report found 75 per cent of hiring managers now prioritise skills over formal degrees, while the World Economic Forum forecasts that over half of the global workforce will need reskilling by 2025. 'At our institute, the Practice School program offers students real-world industry exposure through structured internships, helping them build practical skills and workplace readiness. Meanwhile, the Career Services Department provides micro-certifications in high-demand areas such as AI, data analytics, PMP, Six Sigma, and cybersecurity—aligned with evolving industry needs. Together, these initiatives equip students with strong academic foundations and the hands-on skills essential for today's dynamic job market,' added Razzak. Industry professionals pointed out the UAE's dynamic and diverse workforce has also shaped how professionals approach postgraduate education. Degree not for prestige Education consultants say that students now pursue Master's degrees not to check a box for employers, but to realign their careers with market trends or gain access to broader industry networks. 'For instance, someone with a background in engineering might now opt for a Master's in data analytics or business strategy to realign with evolving market demands,' said Varun Jain, CEO of UniHawk. 'Similarly, professionals in finance may pursue an MBA after gaining a few years of experience, not just for academic growth, but for the networking opportunities, case study exposure, and industry insights such programmes offer.' In the private sector, recruiters see first-hand how employers are recalibrating their hiring strategies. 'From my experience in recruitment and what we see across industries, employers are weighing relevant experience much more heavily than academic qualifications,' said Aws Ismail, General Manager at Marc Ellis, Dubai. 'They're looking for plug and play talent… A Master's might help open doors or slightly distinguish a candidate's profile, but what really matters is a candidate's practical skills, mindset, and ability to use technology as an enabler." Echoing that sentiment, Nickie Wilson, Executive Director of Genie Recruitment, noted that very few clients specifically request candidates with Master's degrees. 'The only exception tends to be tech startups or VC-backed companies who occasionally request an MBA from a globally recognised institution. But overall most of our clients don't even require a bachelor's degree, let alone a Master's,' she said. 'Personally, I've always believed that pursuing a Master's should be a decision made later in life… Experience in most cases trumps education," she added.

Eid Al Adha 2025 in UAE: Takbeerat rings out at malls; have you heard it?
Amid the hustle of shoppers and the echo of footsteps, a serene and familiar chant gently cuts through the noise at 3pm in Mall of the Emirates: 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar…' With Eid Al Adha just days away, shopping malls across the UAE have begun broadcasting the Eid takbeerat —a spiritual call glorifying God — over their loudspeakers. The gesture is subtle but powerful, pausing the rush of daily life and touching hearts amid the everyday rush. Dubai residents Lamar Murtada, Talia Alsayed, and Meera Alabbassi, paused mid-stroll, captivated by the sound echoing softly through the air-conditioned corridors. 'It gives us that feeling that Eid is almost here,' said Meera. Watch the video below: For Talia, the moment carried added a deeper meaning. 'Just yesterday, I talked to my mom about this after we heard the takbeerat somewhere else,' she said. 'It's so calming. It brings us peace. Honestly, it's more meaningful than any background music.' Major shopping centres like City Centre Mirdif, Deira City Center, Union Coop, and Etihad Mall, are filling their spaces with the spiritual echoes of the takbeer, adding a reverent tone to the festive energy. What is Takbeerat? These recitations, known as Takbeerat Al-Adha, mean proclaiming 'God is Great' and are a reflection of faith, gratitude, and joy. Recited especially during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, the takbeer is a cherished Sunnah that helps prepare the hearts of Muslims for one of the most significant days in the Islamic calendar. At Union Coop, the initiative began on May 28, marking the 1st of Dhul Hijjah, and will continue through June 8, the 12th of Dhul Hijjah. 'Broadcasting Eid Takbeerat in our branches symbolises Allah's glory, spreads joy, and reminds people of Eid's spiritual meaning. It helps revive the Sunnah, reinforce Islamic identity in public spaces, and educate Muslims about the proper practice and timing of Takbeerat,' said Shuaib Alhammadi, senior manager, community relations at Union Coop. 'A special moment' For long-time Dubai resident Sajna Abdulla, who encountered the takbeer while shopping in Deira City Center, the moment was unexpectedly emotional. 'I was out shopping when it began and was quite surprised. It transported me back to my Hajj experience over 30 years ago,' she recalled. 'The memories came rushing in. My family even started repeating the takbeer after the loudspeaker. It was a truly special moment.' Even tourists are pausing to appreciate the gesture. Alia and Rahaf, sisters visiting Dubai from Saudi Arabia for a pre-Eid holiday, were delighted to hear the familiar chants. 'It reminded us of home,' they said. 'It's heartening to hear this in Dubai, a city that blends modern living with strong Islamic traditions.' This year, excitement is even higher as UAE residents prepare for a four-day Eid Al Adha break, starting Thursday, June 5, with Arafah Day, the holiest day in Islam. Eid Al Adha will be observed on Friday, June 6, coinciding with Jumuah (Friday) prayers, making the day spiritually significant with both sermons taking place back to back. The break will continue through Sunday, June 8, offering families and communities time for both reflection and celebration. Across social media, UAE residents have started sharing their experiences by posting videos of the takbeerat echoing through malls, and tagging locations like Etihad Mall, Union Coop, and Mirdif City Centre.

UAE flights: Ticket prices up by 60% on peak travel day amid Eid Al Adha break
As UAE residents gear up for the upcoming Eid Al Adha break, travel demand to Arab and regional destinations is soaring, as are ticket prices. According to Bharat Aidasani, Managing Partner at Pluto Travels, airfares to Arab destinations have surged by up to 60 per cent during the Eid Al Adha holiday period as demand continues to outpace supply. "Because of the peak season, people love to travel, especially in the summer and during holiday times like Eid," Aidasani said, highlighting a consistent rise in travel demand. According to Aidasani, prices for flights to these destinations have risen between 20 to 30 per cent, with peak-day travel costs increasing by as much as 40 to 60 per cent. 'Airlines also get geared up for Eid. They start additional flights and open new routes wherever demand rises.' Arab destinations remain in high demand. Egypt continues to attract many UAE residents, while Syria is witnessing a surge as Syrians living in the UAE return home to celebrate Eid. Lebanon remains a consistent favorite, and Saudi Arabia sees increased traffic due to Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. Praveen Choudhary from Al Saffron Travel and Tourism agrees and adds that Egypt and Morocco are among the Arab destinations with the highest surge in bookings this Eid. "We're seeing a major influx in Egypt visa applications during the holiday period," said Choudhary, noting a significant increase in demand from UAE residents and expats alike. Choudhary emphasised the importance of early booking to avoid steep price hikes. "If you book 40 to 45 days in advance, the price could be nearly half what it is now. For example, a ticket priced at Dh500 earlier might now be over Dh1,000." Zain Al Abdin, sales manager at Golden Eagle Travel & Tourism, added that airlines have ramped up operations to accommodate the surge. For example, 'Syrian Airlines used to be the only carrier flying to Syria, but now FlyDubai and Emirates are adding flights. Yet prices have increased by around 50 per cent,' Al Abdin said. Travellers who book last-minute tickets often face higher fares, especially for non-flexible or non-refundable ticket categories. 'About 90 per cent of the tickets people book are non-refundable,' he explained. With limited flexibility, travellers are often locked into dates set by public sector holidays. Different travel behaviours Compared to last Eid, bookings this year are strong but slightly lower. 'This is mainly due to the overlap of Eid holidays with school exams. Many families are delaying their travel until after Eid,' Al Abdin explained. Some families prefer spending the same budget on more extended post-Eid vacations rather than shorter, more expensive Eid getaways. 'A three-day Eid trip might cost Dh4,000 per person now. Some prefer to wait until after exams and spend Dh7,000 on a full summer trip instead,' he said. Travel after Eid is expected to be more affordable and appealing for long-haul trips. 'After Eid, prices will drop, especially for longer destinations like Europe, Russia, and northern Turkey,' he added. Looking at global destinations, Al Abdin pointed out that travelers prefer short-haul trips during Eid, such as Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Istanbul. "For long-haul destinations like Europe, Russia, North Turkey, Japan, Korea, or Norway, people wait for the summer holiday season."
