Why GETEX Matters
With changing global geopolitical trends and limited student intakes in key destinations like the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia, Dubai has emerged as a growing hub for high-quality academic programmes. Highlighting the importance of GETEX this year, Anselm Godinho, Managing Director of International Conferences and Exhibitions, organisers of GETEX, said "We have responded to this demand by expanding GETEX’s reach to additional global universities and diverse course offerings, ensuring that students are exposed to relevant programmes and are empowered to make informed life decisions"
