Sixth Form is about more than choosing subjects, it’s about planning for what comes next. At GEMS Wellington Academy - Al Khail, we provide personalised, expert guidance to help students take the next step with clarity and confidence. 

Here are five ways we support our students as they prepare for life after school: 

1: One-to-one career and university counselling 

Every student receives personalised advice, helping them identify the courses, destinations, and careers that align with their interests, goals, and academic strengths. 

2: Application workshops 

Whether applying to UK universities through UCAS or to the US via Common App, students are supported in crafting powerful personal statements, motivation letters, and essays. 

3: Interview preparation 

For competitive courses such as Medicine, Law, or Oxbridge programmes, our team offer mock interviews and coaching to help students present their best selves. 

4: Global university pathways and scholarship partnerships 

As part of the wider GEMS Education network, students benefit from access to over 100 global scholarship partners, opening doors to universities across the UK, US, Canada, Europe, and beyond. 

5: Access to over AED 1 billion in scholarships 

GEMS students can explore a wide range of funding opportunities, with over AED 1 billion in scholarships available across the group, making world-class education more accessible than ever.
