Local and international universities and colleges will come together from 9 to 12 November, giving students and families a place to explore the next stage of education.
Students in Kuwait weighing where to study after school will have an opportunity to explore local and international institutions when Derasti returns to Kuwait International Fair in Mishref from 9 to 12 November 2026. The exhibition’s official account identifies Hall 8 as the venue and describes a gathering of universities and colleges in one place. The November dates are also listed on the government’s Visit Kuwait events calendar. instagram.com
The appeal of that format lies in the questions behind a university application: which subjects are available, what grades are needed, how admission works and where a particular qualification can lead. Bringing institutions together gives students a chance to compare those answers directly, while parents can join conversations about the choices ahead. Previous editions show how Derasti has combined those discussions with practical support for students still completing school.
At the May 2026 exhibition at 360 Mall, the Ministry of Education said its stand provided students and parents with information on university admission thresholds, scholarship programmes and fields of study. Its participation also covered digital learning services, including the ministry’s electronic library and approved question banks, as secondary-school students approached their end-of-year examinations. That placed immediate study needs alongside the longer-term decision about further education. تفاصيل الخبر
Earlier participation by Kuwait University in April 2025 illustrates the detail those conversations can reach. The university said its representatives would explain required grades, academic aptitude tests, registration procedures and the conditions attached to different colleges. Students could also ask about the programmes available and how study was organised across the university’s faculties. For someone considering several subjects, those distinctions help turn a broad interest into a more specific set of options. جامعة الكويت
Different routes through higher education have also featured. In its announcement for the May 2026 event, Kuwait Technical College said its team would discuss academic programmes, admissions, student life and its diploma-to-bachelor’s pathway with Grade 12 students and their parents. Together, these previous contributions show the range of questions an education exhibition can address, from entering a degree programme to understanding how one qualification may connect with another. ktech
With Derasti scheduled to return to Mishref in November, the focus turns again to helping students examine those choices in person. For families preparing for the transition beyond school, the useful outcome is a clearer shortlist: programmes to investigate, entry requirements to check and questions to take back to the institutions before applying.
