Is University still worth it?

Update: 2025-08-14

Description

14 Aug 2025. As thousands of teenagers across the UAE await their exam results, we ask the admissions team at Heriot-Watt University Dubai and Crimson Education whether higher education is still the right investment in the age of AI. Plus, we hear from RAK Properties CEO Sameh Muhtadi on record earnings, and Binghatti’s CEO on raising half a billion dollars (and ringing a bell) in London.
