Abu Dhabi, Oct 28, 2024: The 2024 Abu Dhabi edition of Najah, one of the largest higher education events in the region, was inaugurated today by Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister for Tolerance and Coexistence. 

Sheikh Nahyan emphasised that the UAE leadership places exceptional focus on higher education and continuously strives to develop and enhance it with all available resources. He also noted that Emirati universities are among the most advanced in the region, expressing his appreciation for all efforts aimed at empowering the youth and supporting them in facing challenges and achieving the success they aspire to. 

Najah University Expo 2024 runs from October 27 to 29 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, featuring more than 100 universities from more than 20 countries worldwide, including the UAE, the US, Canada, the UK, European Union countries, as well as Japan, China and more. 

The event includes seminars and live Q&A sessions on the latest in higher education for students who want to pursue opportunities abroad as well as those looking for options closer to home. In these sessions, counsellors and university representatives address critical topics in higher education, from entry requirements to the application process, navigating specific streams such as medicine and management, as well as exploring emerging and futuristic careers, securing funding and scholarship opportunities and the challenges of pursuing higher education locally and abroad. 

“The response from visitors has been outstandingly positive. This is not entirely surprising, as Najah is not just the largest higher education event in the UAE but has established itself over the years as a trusted bridge between the country’s student community and global educational entities,” said Dima Al Sadi, Event Director, Najah.
