Our Story
Gulf-Ed Consultants is a UAE-based educational consultancy, dedicated to supporting higher education institutions across the Gulf region. Despite being a new establishment, Gulf-Ed Consultants stands out with its team of higher education professionals having extensive experience of the university sector in the UAE and across the Gulf thus setting it apart from other education and strategic consultancies in the region. Our consultants have experience of working within local universities, conducting hundreds of external reviews, and in the government entities responsible for regulation and quality assurance e.g. the UAE’s Commission for Academic Accreditation, the National Qualifications Centre (formerly the National Qualifications Authority) and the Department of Education and Knowledge in Abu Dhabi (ADEK). Consultants have also worked on behalf of a number of international Quality Assurance Agencies (QAAs), including elsewhere in the Gulf region, and on behalf of professional bodies.
​
At Gulf-Ed Consultants, our mission is to transform higher education through accessibility, engagement, and enhanced effectiveness. We believe that all students deserve a high-quality education suited to their unique needs, and we aim to connect traditional teaching methods with modern digital solutions. Utilising insights, innovative delivery methods, and data-driven strategies, we empower both educators and learners to achieve improved outcomes. Our objective is to cultivate an inclusive and dynamic learning environment that promotes curiosity, critical thinking, and success within top-tier higher education institutions.
