WHAT WE DO

I and my team work to develop successful academic collaboration between top-tier universities in the UK and the Arab world.

 

When these are operational, we continue to provide a range of services to all parties to ensure mutual understanding and to meet both academic and commercial targets over the long term.

 

• Our advice is sought by regional institutions and ministries to identify appropriate UK university partners,

• We have 15 years’ experience of working with UK universities, and are fully aware of the wide range of academic and quality assurance issues that are required, and can advise all parties on realistic timelines, recruitment targets, and local issues,

• We have experience of working with Arab world institutions,

• We offer an existing network of advisers and contacts (including at ministries) across the MENA region,

• We provide expertise on compliance and regulatory requirements,

• We give advice on commercial issues in the region, for example pricing, credit control and timely payment of fees, marketing, event management, contractual terms, competitor activities and trends,

• We can offer support and assistance students in the region as needed, and  in Arabic  if required,

• We provide an on-the-ground presence – from hosting exchange visits, to managing networking and information events, to Graduations and Celebrations of Achievement,

• We can offer translation services (for Edinburgh Business School, for example, we managed the translation of the entire MBA programme and all the relevant assessments and marketing collateral into Arabic),

• We can provide distribution services (for Edinburgh Business School, we managed the supply of all physical learning materials to students across the MENA region).

 

One service we do not provide is recruitment of students to study on UK campuses.
