The 14th edition of the Education UK Exhibition 2015, EDUKEX, was inaugurated yesterday at Le Royal Meridien Abu Dhabi by Philip Parham, British Ambassador to the UAE. The one-day event in Abu Dhabi will move to Dubai for two days on November 11th and 12th at Dubai World Trade Centre, Al Multaqa Ballroom, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m..
Held across the region, the British Council organises EDUKEX each year in two stops over three days in the UAE. According to Marc Jessel, Director of the British Council in the UAE, the UK remains the top higher education destination for UAE-resident students, despite the variety of higher education options available both locally and internationally.
“UK Education has always been a coveted option for students, mainly Emiratis,” said Jessel during the inauguration ceremony in Abu Dhabi. “Recent generations of nationals in the UAE as well as other expatriates understand the importance of a prestigious degree from the UK for building their careers.”
“Holders of a degree from the UK have better opportunities to get well-paid jobs in prestigious organisations. EDUKEX helps students and their parents to fully understand all the requirements of study, living and visa logistics.”
The exhibition hold sessions to update students on all the requirements pertaining to accommodation, the culture of UK community, financial aid, and make the visa issuing steps much easier and quicker.
British Council IELTS is supporting the 14th edition of EDUKEX as a Gold Sponsor. The Examination Management in the British Council will be present onsite to facilitate candidates understand the importance of undertaking the IELTS exams before leaving to the UK.
According to studies, several UK universities are ranked among the world’s top 10 universities annually, and this prompts many students to visit EDUKEX and interact with representatives of these universities, and try to secure their place for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
EDUKEX is part of British Council’s initiatives to enhance cultural and educational relations between the UAE and UK. The main objective of EDUKEX is to raise awareness of the quality of UK education and the extensive choice of courses and institutions on offer at every academic level.
