Information for students from United Arab Emirates

Undergraduate - Year 1

For entry to most undergraduate courses, you must have completed either:

• Two A Levels or equivalent
• Tawjihiya plus Foundation year
• International Baccalaureate with good grades is also accepted, or
• Indian Education System CBSE & ISC of at least 70% overall

Undergraduate - Year 2 & 3

Students who wish to transfer from the Middlesex University Dubai campus to our campus in London should contact the student office at the university.

If you have achieved a Foundation Degree, CertHE, DipHE, HNC, HND or a number of modules of an undergraduate degree course at another university, you may be able to enter directly into the second or third year of one of our undergraduate degree courses as a transfer student. We recognise qualifications from a range of awarding bodies including Aptech, ABE and Edexcel.

Post Graduate

For most postgraduate courses, you must have completed a good 4 year Bachelor degree from a recognised university with GPA 2.4/4

Our MBA courses require at least two years of post-graduation work experience at management level, and in some cases a GMAT score of over 550 will also be required. Students must also meet our standard English Language Requirements.

We accept grade C or above in O Level or GCSE English Language, as evidence of your English language ability for most undergraduate courses. If you don't meet these, we offer a Pre-sessional English course.

We understand that knowing how you’ll fund your studies as an international student is something you’ll want to tick off your list as soon as possible. We’ve got plenty of support on budgeting to help you get the most out of your money and your university experience.
