About Intellete
An educational consultancy built around Europe.
Intellete is a UAE based educational consultancy supporting students and schools with applications and insights into European universities. We are a proud partner of GEMS for Life, and our mission has been to grow awareness of the English taught options available across non English speaking Europe.
In 2025, we hosted our first ever European University Fair Week, bringing 14 universities from 9 European countries directly to UAE students. The value it delivered in helping students explore strong alternatives beyond the "Big 4" destinations is exactly why we are bringing it back. As Europe's momentum continues to build, our 2026 edition this October is the next step in that journey.
Who it's for
Shaped by last year's feedback.
Feedback from our 2025 university partners was clear. The strongest engagement came from IB World Schools and American curriculum institutions. The 2026 line up reflects this with a curated mix of 10 IB and American curriculum schools (several of which also offer A-levels), 2 A-level schools, and 1 French lycée.
Alongside the school visits, participating universities will join an exclusive counsellor networking evening and have the option to take part in larger university fairs running the same week across the UAE.
Participating schools
