Since 2005, the THE Awards have provided a moment to pause, reflect and celebrate the extraordinary achievements of individuals and teams in UK universities. Each year, hundreds of institutions enter categories covering all aspects of university activity, and over 1,200 people gather to celebrate the winners’ achievements at a glittering ceremony – the biggest party in the UK higher education calendar.

The Arab World is a distinctive collection of countries and territories exhibiting real quality and diversity across its higher education landscape. In the THE Awards Arab World's third year honouring the work of universities across the region, we hope to unearth yet more stories of excellence and innovation by the individuals and teams who help to drive the region’s relentless progress. It is our privilege to showcase and promote their inspirational work across the Arab World and beyond.

Join us to explore the leading role of higher education institutions in supporting the future development of societies across the Arab World. Keynotes, panel discussions and case studies will identify how cross-sector partnerships, enhanced skills provision and greater cultural diversity can drive educational transformation and support the progress of local and regional communities.
