The 10th edition of KT UniExpo Dubai, organised by Khaleej Times, opened on Tuesday at the Millennium Plaza Downtown Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road and runs through Wednesday, September 30. More than 35 universities from the UAE, UK, US, Canada, India, Australia and across Europe are exhibiting, giving students and parents direct access to admissions teams and course advisors under one roof.
Programmes on offer span artificial intelligence, data science, medicine, aviation engineering, business, finance, media and design, reflecting UAE students' growing appetite for future-focused degrees. Entry is free, with the expo open daily from 8am to 6pm.
Speaking at the opening, Khaleej Times Chief Content Officer Ted Kemp described the UAE as a hub for a "two-way movement of students, ideas and opportunities," pointing to the country's dual role as both a source of outbound students and a destination for international campuses. Alongside the university booths, RAKBANK unveiled Skiply, a new platform that lets parents select a university and pay tuition fees in instalments via a RAKBANK card at 0 per cent interest — aimed at easing the financial planning that often accompanies overseas study decisions.
Registration for the expo remains open through its official website. Now in its tenth year, UniExpo has grown into one of the region's largest higher-education gatherings, underlining Dubai's role as a meeting point between Gulf families and universities from around the world.
