It was an incredible experience to be a part of such a prestigious event, which brought together experts and thought leaders from across the region to discuss the future of higher education.
We achieved our reputation goals by meeting and introducing our university to like-minded professionals at QS Higher Ed Summit: Middle East & Africa. This has enabled us to reach a diverse group of people around the world within a short period of time.
The participation has boosted the University branding at the region level. Attending these conferences acted as a facilitator in connecting with academics and different institutions around the world.
