Dubai, May 31, 2023: Najah University Expo has announced the dates for this year’s fair. The expo will take place from October 8 to 10, 2023, in Dubai and from October 29 to 31, 2023, in Abu Dhabi.
Supported by the Ministry of Education in the UAE as a platform to help students prepare for their higher education journey, Najah has set the bar as one of the largest higher education fairs in the MENA region, with an impressive 24,000 visitors at its 2022 Abu Dhabi and Dubai runs.
For the past 16 years, Najah has established itself as definitive destination for providing students with essential resources and insights on admissions, scholarship opportunities, studying abroad possibilities, alumni experiences and more.
The turnout for the Najah University Expo 2022 saw 197% and 176% increases in attendance in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, respectively. School visits also skyrocketed in 2022, with an increase of 470% for Najah Dubai and 607% for Najah Abu Dhabi – a clear indication of the event’s importance in the UAE education sector.
Of the 150+ exhibitors from 20 countries, 97% said they were satisfied with visitor numbers and 92% said that Najah is important for their business. 89% from Najah Abu Dhabi and 85% from Najah Dubai are likely to return for the 2023 edition.
Najah’s 2022 exhibitor line-up included universities from the UAE, UK, Canada, USA, Germany, Spain, France, Hungary, Cyprus, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia among others. An itinerary of talks designed to explore the higher education experience in more detail was also held at the Success Hub, with more than 60 seminar sessions held across both events.
Students and parents alike who attended Najah Abu Dhabi and Najah Dubai shared how the expo exceeded their expectations when it came to supporting their decision-making process in choosing the right university for their higher education.
“I was able to find out about many universities from all over the world at Najah Abu Dhabi. I asked questions and received answers to all of them. It has helped me gain a deeper understanding of university life, requirements and fees/scholarships,” said Mohammad Imam, a student at Al Nahda National Schools for Boys who attended Najah Abu Dhabi 2022.
“Najah is doing a great job by getting so many universities from different countries on a common platform. It helps to share a lot of good information in a single place,” said Tuhindra Verma, a parent visiting Najah Dubai 2022.
“I would highly recommend this event as guidance for parents, teachers, counsellors and students. As a teacher and a parent, it facilitated me to find a relevant university for my child. I was able to talk to my Year 12 students about what subject they can opt for their majors at either a university in UAE or abroad,” said Ayaz Naima, a teacher from Emirates National School who attended Najah Abu Dhabi 2022.
Exhibitors, on the other hand, agree that Najah has become an essential part of their marketing strategy, allowing them to engage with students on a more personal level.
“Najah has always been an exciting and beneficial event for us universities. We get a massive opportunity to meet most of the schools all in one go, which is marvellous. Communicating and building further relations with the schools and their senior students is easier for us here along with intensifying our brand awareness. Looking forward to more of Najah next year!” said Laila Idris, an exhibitor from Zayed University.
Eva Lample Marcos, an exhibitor from SEPEI Spain had nothing but praise for the Najah expo. “It was an excellent fair and very well organised. The staff were always on hand to help. Najah definitely exceeded our expectations as we made a lot of leads,” she said.
Rodaina Rizk of 51 Campus in Egypt said that the Najah staff made a huge impact on why they are looking to participate again. “They are friendly, helpful and ready to assist with anything you might need. We were also impressed by the number and quality of the attendees.”
