In an era when credibility and innovation define the value of education, Eduminds Learning, a leading global ed-tech institution, is reshaping how academic excellence is recognised. In partnership with the Kennedy University of Baptist (USA), the organisation is spearheading a movement that honours distinguished achievers, professionals, and thought-leaders through world-class academic and honorary programs.
The collaboration will be celebrated at a grand international convocation on 6 December 2025 at the Al Habtoor Grand Resort, Dubai (UAE) a landmark occasion symbolising how the Middle East has become a centre for innovation, research, and global education.
A New Era of Recognition and Research
Eduminds Learning stands apart in its mission to bridge professional success with academic recognition. Rather than confining achievement within classrooms, the platform acknowledges real-world impact, innovation, and leadership through rigorously evaluated honorary doctorates and professional doctorates.
With programs offered in collaboration with Kennedy University of Baptist, participants gain access to globally accredited education rooted in evidence-based evaluation and academic integrity. The university holds accreditations from the Quality Education Assurance Accreditation (QEAA) and the International Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (QAHE) a testament to the legitimacy and international standing of its programs.
For professionals across the Middle East, this collaboration opens the door to doctoral-level recognition without geographical barriers combining the accessibility of online learning with the prestige of an American university credential.
The Middle East’s Rising Academic Landscape
The higher education market across the Middle East is undergoing a period of remarkable expansion. According to the latest industry insights, the region’s education sector is valued at over USD 83 billion and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 11.8 percent through 2030. The UAE alone, a nation known for its visionary investments in knowledge economies, continues to see rising demand for world-class academic programs.
Across Gulf economies, professionals in healthcare, technology, management, education, and the creative industries are increasingly pursuing doctoral and research qualifications to reinforce their leadership and global competitiveness. In a region where less than two percent of the population holds a PhD, this demand reflects a cultural shift toward knowledge leadership and credentialed expertise.
The Convocation: A Celebration of Global Excellence
The upcoming Dubai Convocation 2025 will bring together accomplished professionals and scholars from more than twenty nations. The ceremony will recognise recipients of both Honorary Doctorate and Doctoral Degrees conferred by Kennedy University of Baptist through
Eduminds Learning, celebrating their measurable contributions to industry, research, and social progress.
The event’s Guest of Honour, Dr Mohammed Khan, Founder and CEO of Khans Media City, embodies the global excellence this initiative represents. Known for his extraordinary contributions to international media, branding, and cultural diplomacy from collaborations with FIFA, the International Olympic Committee, Dubai Tourism, and the World Expo 2020, to peace initiatives recognised by global bodies Dr Khan’s presence symbolises how creativity, leadership, and vision can unite people beyond borders.
Great Leaders Aren’t Born, They’re Recognised The Rigorous Path to an Eduminds Doctorate
Admission to Eduminds Learning’s honorary and doctoral programs follows a structured and transparent process. Candidates are assessed on their professional achievements, research aptitude, and societal contributions.
At Eduminds Learning, every candidate’s journey begins with precision and integrity. Each application undergoes a comprehensive evaluation of professional achievements, research aptitude, and social impact, ensuring that only the most deserving profiles are considered. Candidates submit detailed credentials, published works, and records of leadership or innovation, which are then reviewed by an independent academic panel under the Kennedy University of Baptist framework. Upon successful review, shortlisted applicants receive a conditional offer letter, followed by registration and participation in a panel discussion round that assesses alignment with the program’s values. What distinguishes Eduminds Learning is its fully online and globally flexible model, allowing professionals across the Middle East to pursue prestigious doctorates without compromising their careers or mobility. Every recognition conferred be it academic or honorary is based purely on merit, authenticity, and evidence of real-world contribution, ensuring that each title awarded stands as a symbol of credibility, excellence, and lifelong achievement.
This merit-based evaluation ensures that every doctorate awarded stands as a verified symbol of excellence and contribution not just a credential, but a legacy.
A Vision Rooted in Purpose
Speaking about the initiative, the CEO & Founder of Eduminds Learning Mr. Devesh Rathore quoted :
“Our vision is to redefine how the world measures achievement. Experience, innovation, and service to society deserve academic honour equal to traditional scholarship. By partnering with Kennedy University of Baptist, we are enabling professionals in the Middle East and all over the world to earn globally respected recognition for what they have built, led, and contributed.
This vision aligns perfectly with Dubai’s global identity a city that celebrates knowledge, enterprise, and transformation. The convocation will not only honour individual excellence but also reinforce Dubai’s standing as a hub for intellectual capital and future-driven education.
