To be eligible for admission to a graduate program, applicants must hold a Bachelor/Master’s degree from an accredited institution, as approved by the UAE Ministry of Education. Applicants holding a qualification obtained outside the UAE must submit a Certificate of Equivalency issued by the UAE Ministry of Education. Please refer to the Ministry of Education website for information on how to apply for a Certificate of Equivalency:
Please note that Khalifa University is not involved in the equivalency process. The UAE Ministry of Education’s Higher Education Affairs Division is responsible for assessing applications and issuing the Certificate of Equivalency.
Applicants are advised to begin the equivalency process as soon as possible and prepare all the required documents, including completion of attestation, notarisation, translation or any other processes, before travelling to the UAE.
