UAE students, parents line up as KT UniExpo showcases different courses, career paths
The two-day KT UniExpo is bringing together more than 35 educational institutions, showcasing various undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Participating universities are offering programmes in fields such as medicine, engineering, aviation, fashion design, and more.
Students from various schools across the UAE and parents lined up as early as 9am to visit the different stalls and learn more about educational opportunities and new career paths. Held on April 16 and 17 from 8am to 6pm, KT UniExpo gives students an opportunity to make important decisions about their future.
The event at The H Dubai hotel was inaugurated by Mohammed Galadari, Group Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman and Ibrahim Galadari, Group Chief Investment Officer and Director of the Galadari Group. Now in its eighth edition, KT UniExpo has been a top choice for school students to learn more about UAE-based universities and the courses they offer.
IIT Delhi Abu Dhabi – the first international campus of the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) group of universities was one of the participants at the fair. Considered to be one of the best engineering colleges in the world, noted alums of IITs include Alphabet Inc. CEO Sunder Pichai and Indian industrialist N. R. Narayana Murthy.
Golden opportunity
Visitors to the event were able to engage directly with universities and education providers and receive personalised guidance on higher education choices.
Live question and answer sessions, seminars, and career counselling sessions will be held throughout both days to assist students with local and international sponsorships and financial aid options.
For Shaurya, a Grade 11 student of the Credence High School, the event was a golden opportunity to explore future education opportunities. 'I am looking to pursue a career in psychology and I am looking for some courses in the field,' he said. 'I will be looking at options in India and the UAE, and I thought this would be a great place to get more information. I am particularly interested in Amity University.'
Picking a course
With the onslaught of artificial intelligence and machine learning, picking the right course for undergraduate and postgraduate studies has become more important than ever. Experts have suggested that millions of jobs will be displaced by automation, but AI will create over 97 million new job opportunities, 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.
