As well as providing virtual support through its primary online presence at www.mypathtouni.com<\/a>, MPTU is also stationed at GEMS Wellington Academy \u2013 Al Khail, where students will be able to meet with counsellors and representatives of member institutions face-to-face from 27 October 2019. MPTU provisions are open to all students, not only those part of the GEMS Education network, with services including application and essay support, test preparation, coaching, mentoring and psychometric guidance, pathway programmes, and internships and work placements.<\/p>\n
