Questions
Where do the requirements come from?
From each university's official admission pages and catalogues; every programme links the page its requirement came from. Requirements change each year, so check the link before applying.
Why do some programmes show no percentage?
UAEU, Zayed, HCT and Khalifa publish no overall average for Emiratis; they set minimums in specific subjects (such as English and Maths). Those programmes are listed apart with their conditions; we don't guess a percentage.
If I meet the minimum, am I admitted?
No. The minimum lets you apply; admission is competitive at most universities and may add a test, an interview or an English requirement.
Which universities are included?
23: UAEU, Zayed, HCT, Khalifa, Sharjah, AUS, AUD, Abu Dhabi University, Ajman, Canadian University Dubai, University of Dubai, Al Ain, RIT Dubai, Heriot-Watt, Wollongong, Sorbonne Abu Dhabi, NYU Abu Dhabi, MBRU, Gulf Medical, RAK Medical, Emirates Aviation, Dubai Medical University and Fatima College of Health Sciences. Police and defence colleges are not: we couldn't reach their published requirements.
Is EmSAT still required for university?
No — the education ministries cancelled the EmSAT requirement for Grade 12 students with immediate effect on 3 November 2024, and each university now sets its own criteria (e.g. UAEU and HCT: 80% in English or IELTS/TOEFL). Some universities still accept an old EmSAT score as English proof.
