Your passport to global education
Now in its 22nd year, the International Education Show (IES) has played a leading role in connecting students and parents with universities from the UAE, the region, and around the world, making it one of Sharjah’s longest-running and most visited education events. Sharjah Education Week stems from this success, expanding the experience into a broader platform of three events, with IES remaining a flagship destination for higher-education exploration.
The 22nd International Education Show (IES) presents a clear picture of the higher-education landscape, serving as a trusted destination for both national and expatriate students to explore local, regional, and international universities. This high-profile event offers direct access to admissions guidance, scholarships, and a wide range of academic pathways across diverse cities, cultures, languages, and learning environments directly from university representatives.
