Sharjah Public Library hosts 5th Major Discipline Exhibition

Carrying the theme ‘Towards New Horizons’, the exhibition is open from between 9am- 1pm and will be welcoming 3,000 students from 55 public and private schools over three days. Offering a one-stop access point to prospective university-goers, to learn about the majors offered by 18 universities across the UAE, the exhibition is connecting them with college officials who are taking up a variety of queries and sharing key admissions information with them. 

Exploring the future with AI 
The three-day event’s workshops focus on AI in education, reflecting the UAE's technology-driven progress across sectors, and empower students to choose the right specialisation for a successful career, highlighting AI's pivotal role in shaping the future.

The exhibition's first day focused on workshops for female students, exploring the use of AI to assess students’ scientific interests and leverage it for skill development, time management, and self-marketing.

Student and parent day
On the second day, a workshop will be held for students on library sciences, AI applications in libraries, and another for parents to understand and guide their children in choosing academic specialisations related to artificial intelligence.

Workshops for students abroad
On the final day of the event, two workshops will be held for students from other countries who are considering the UAE to pursue higher studies. The first one will introduce e-learning platforms and emphasise their advantages, while the second will explore the use of AI tools for informed academic field selection based on scientific standards and preparation.
