De Montfort University, UK. Saed Abib has started a new role as head of global recruitment (Dubai) at De Montfort University. Saed has spent his entire career working in higher education in various roles within student services and international offices. His new role managing the recruitment operation for the De Montfort University’s Dubai branch is focussed on ensuring the policies and process of the branch campus provide maximum value for international and domestic students in the UAE. The ambition is to compete with long-standing institutions in the UAE and deliver a true De Montfort University experience in Dubai. The area of graduate outcomes is of particular interest to Saed and how we can infuse and influence better graduate outcomes right from the point of query, not just when applicants become enrolled students.
