The programme explores key themes including the energy value chain, climate change, renewable technologies, and sustainability innovation. Students engage in interactive projects and industry visits, culminating in a group challenge focused on future energy solutions.
Students explore geology, engineering, environmental impact, and energy economics through expert-led workshops, site visits, and simulations —while examining how digital innovation and sustainability are reshaping the future of the energy industry.
The programme builds critical thinking, leadership, and problem-solving skills through industry engagement, site visits, and team challenges—preparing students for future careers in both traditional and sustainable energy sectors.
Participants engage in workshops, field visits, and leadership sessions on topics like renewable energy, sustainable cities, and climate justice, working with experts to understand how Dubai drives the UN SDGs and Net Zero 2050.
Students gain a well-rounded understanding of the oil and gas sector’s challenges and opportunities, preparing them for future paths as engineers, geoscientists, business leaders, or environmental advocates.
Our tailor made programme has been developed to provide a high level view of the oil and gas sector and provides a range of subjects on the sustainable future of this industry.
Our unique and ground breaking sustainable oil and gas curriculum takes place in one of the global hubs for energy and innovation, Dubai! Against the backdrop of this incredible city, our students will gain practical insights into the oil and gas industry and how it is an industry working hard to support sustainability in the modern world.
With a focus on the UN 17 sustainable development goal no 7, ‘Affordable and Clean Energy’, students will explore the full oil and gas development chain, including studies in to exploration, production and refining. How technology is driving the future of more sustainable energies.
The curriculum looks at how our world is powered, geology, seismic exploration and drilling technologies. We will also look at the business of energy.
Students will work in small groups on practical projects, and their time in Dubai will include some industry relevant visits and workshops.
All of our programmes include workshops focused on the 4 C’s identified by the World Economic Forum as being essential for the future success of our global achievers. As MTa licensed users, we make the most of our MTa Insights kits, expertly developed with experiential learning in mind. We deliver engaging workshops focused on critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication.

It is not all work, work, work! We recognise that our young people need a balanced programme that also includes cultural visits as well as lots of sports and leisure activities. We offer a full programme of day and evening activities making the most of the facilities on offer in our host locations. In addition students will visit the iconic attractions and places linked to their location of study. Depending on your chosen location, this could include the Burj Khalifa and Abu Dhabi in the UAE, Big Ben, Cambridge and Oxford in the UK, and tours of MIT, the Freedom Trail and New York in Boston.
At the end of each programme students will take part in the Student Showcase. This is their opportunity to present the culmination of their time with us in a project they have worked on and developed with a small number of their peers. The showcase can be in the form of a powerpoint presentation on a new business idea, to a 3D display of a newly designed town, or an animated video on a new brand. The Student Showcase is a highlight of the students’ time with us and enjoyed by both students and their tutors alike!
At the end of each programme our students take part in a formal graduation ceremony, dressed in their traditional graduation gowns and mortarboards, students receive their end of course certificates followed by a celebration of their work and studies in the form of a farewell party. We ask that students bring more formal wear for their graduation and parents are welcome to join and celebrate their achievements along with us.
We provide digital end of course reports to support their studies and can also provide letters of recommendation on request.
The graduation ceremony is a really special way to close off their time with us.
From visiting historic landmarks and world-famous attractions to exploring vibrant cities every visit is curated with the intention of inspiring creativity, encouraging personal growth, and preparing students to engage with the world in a meaningful way.
The sports, activities and team building exercises that our students enjoy, form an important part of each day and help students to build life-long connections and friendships.

It’s amazing how much you can experience and learn in just a few weeks. Dive into everything with an open heart and mind, because it’s an opportunity that will stay with you forever!

The most important thing I learned with Global Achievers Academy is how to step out of my comfort zone. At first, I was nervous about trying new things, meeting so many people, and speaking up in front of others. But the supportive environment and amazing mentors helped me find courage I didn’t know I had. Now, I feel braver, more independent, and ready to face challenges with a positive attitude.

My favourite lesson was Leadership because it was about discovering who we are and how we can make a difference. We had the chance to express our opinions on important topics and listen to others’ perspectives. It taught me how to stand up for my beliefs, understand different points of view, and think critically about the world. It’s a lesson I’ll carry with me forever.

I was looking for a summer experience where I could meet new friends, explore a new city, and learn practical skills that would benefit me in daily life. Global Achievers Academy didn’t just meet my expectations; it exceeded them. I made friends from all over the world who I still talk to today, learned about new cultures, and gained confidence in myself. It’s a life-changing experience that helps you grow.
