For many students, the journey to studying abroad begins with a single
conversation—one that brings clarity, confidence, and direction. This February,
that pivotal moment returns to the UAE with the Global Education Expo 2026, a
multi-city education showcase designed to connect students and parents directly
with leading international universities.
Organised by Qadri International Educational Consultancy, the expo will
take place across three major UAE cities, reinforcing the country’s position as
a regional hub for global education access.
The Global Education Expo 2026 will be hosted in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, and
Dubai, making it accessible to students across the Emirates.
The schedule starts on February 3 in Al Ain, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at
the Danat Al Ain Resort. The expo will be in Abu Dhabi on February 6 from 4:00
p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Millennium Downtown Abu Dhabi and in Dubai on February 7
from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Millennium Plaza Downtown Hotel.
Each venue is meant to be a focused, interactive space where students
and parents can have meaningful, one-on-one conversations with university
representatives.
This year’s Global Education Expo places a strong spotlight on Europe
alongside emerging global education hubs. Participating countries include
Italy, Malta, Cyprus, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Malaysia,
and the Caribbean.
These destinations are increasingly attracting international students
due to their combination of high academic standards, globally recognised
degrees, English-taught programmes, and comparatively affordable tuition fees.
Many universities also offer strong post-study pathways, internships, and
international career exposure.
Universities from more than 10 countries will be represented at the
expo, with several institutions participating in UAE education exhibitions for
the first time.
A distinguishing feature of the Global Education Expo is the calibre and
exclusivity of its participating institutions. Many of the universities
attending do not regularly appear at education fairs in the UAE, making this
event a rare opportunity for direct engagement.
Qadri International has been able to bring them together because of its
long-standing partnerships with universities in Europe and beyond. These
connections let students get accurate, first-hand information about admissions
requirements, course structures, scholarships, visa processes, and career
outcomes straight from university officials.
This direct access helps students go beyond just looking things up
online and get a better understanding through real conversations.
Dr. Muhammad Yousuf Qadri, CEO of Qadri International Educational
Consultancy, talked about the expo and how the organization is dedicated to
making education more accessible to students in the region and around the
world.
He said, "For decades, we have built strong relationships with top
universities in many countries, which gives students in the UAE access to
opportunities that are hard to find at home."
He went on to say that the expo is not only meant to promote colleges
and universities, but also to give students and their families the information
they need to make smart, confident choices about their future.
The Global Education Expo 2026 comes at a very important time, as more
and more people want to go to school in Europe because it is cheaper. It gives
students the chance to look into different places to study, compare programs,
and learn about real-world results, all in one place.
For a lot of people who go to the expo, it could be the start of an
academic journey abroad, thanks to a single conversation that changes their
lives.
