Dubai Education System

Dubai's education system is divided into two main categories: public and private. Private and international schools are known for providing excellent, high-quality education, whereas public schools have historically been rated as adequate or poor. However, there is a positive shift underway as the government increases its investment in public education.

Conditions for Admission

·         Masters: 50%-55% and above in Bachelor’s degree

Language Requirement

A minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is necessary for postgraduate courses, while a score of 6.0 is required for undergraduate courses. However, if a student earns a score of more than 70% in HSC English, the IELTS requirement will be eliminated. On the other hand, this prerequisite does not apply to MBA courses.
