"The student-focused activities have been designed to help students make sense of the information and choices offered at Getex Autumn,” said Anselm Godinho, managing director, International Conferences & Exhibitions (IC&E), organisers of the event.

“There has been a growing demand for world-class academic programs by students across the GCC. It is our commitment to help students identify and enrol in the best and most appropriate programs available for them.”

Getex Autumn is a free-to-visit event that reaches out to learners, educators and trainers in its mission to promote excellence in the education sector.

More than 7,000 participants are expected to attend the fair, while a variety of academic and vocational courses, scholarships, counselling sessions, seminars and workshops have been lined up for the event.

Aside from hundreds of academic options from leading universities, the education show will also offer advice on rules and regulations for those who want to study in the UK, Canada, USA, Australia and other countries.
