For Institutions

Expanding into the UAE takes more than a market report. It takes someone who already knows the room.

I work with universities, colleges, and education providers, from any country, thinking about a UAE presence. Twelve years across Australian higher education, government relations, and this market specifically, are what that's built on.

Practical, relationship-led support for institutions entering or growing in the UAE.

01

UAE Market Entry Advisory

The regulatory landscape, KHDA, ADEK, free zone licensing, and an honest read on whether your institution actually fits this market.

02

Transnational Education (TNE) & Branch Campus Feasibility

Real feasibility work on branch campuses and articulation agreements, weighed against what the capital risk and reputational exposure actually look like.

03

Partnership Brokering

I introduce you to the right local partners, universities, free zones, government bodies, through relationships I actually have, not a cold list.

04

Government & Regulatory Navigation

I've sat on the government side of these conversations myself. That's what I bring to helping you get approvals and stakeholder relationships right the first time.

Most consultants have read about this market. I've worked inside it, from both sides of the table.

HIGHER EDUCATION

Macquarie University & ANU

I worked inside these institutions. That's a different vantage point than an outside advisor summarising how universities operate.

GOVERNMENT

Ministerial & diplomatic roles

I sat inside the government relationships that shape education policy between Australia and the Gulf.

ON THE GROUND

Based in the UAE

I'm not flying in for this. I live here, and the relationships that come with actually being here are the ones that matter.

Considering the UAE as your next market?

Let's have a direct conversation first about whether this market genuinely makes sense for your institution. Everything else can come after that.
