Gulf News webinar to look at higher education in a post-Covid world
Our panel will discuss how universities are rethinking education to stay relevant
This year’s unprecedented circumstances have changed many plans for many people, including tertiary students.
Those who might have thought they would study abroad, or enrol in a university in their home country, may suddenly be faced without that option — or may choose to stay closer to home in the UAE instead.
If you’ve been following our education webinar series closely, you’ll know that many UAE universities have embraced the challenge of distance learning and adapted quickly.
Local institutions have been at the forefront of the shift to remote learning, and have been implementing flexible alternatives to face-to-face teaching for several years. The Covid-19 catalyst gave them the impetus to draw these strategies together quickly and offer a completely streamlined teaching solution immediately.

As we return to classrooms and lecture halls, blended learning programmes will prevail and our home-grown universities have it covered, from social distancing to sanitisation protocols. In view of the current situation, universities are also rethinking education to stay relevant and are looking at ways to create new opportunities for effective student learning experiences.
If you are a current or prospective student who is considering studying in the security of the UAE rather than abroad, then this webinar is for you.
Covid-19 has proven to us all that life can be unpredictable and that successful students will need the skills to be able to adapt and evolve with a rapidly changing world.
