Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Dubai BSc Computer Science publishes A-level offers with Mathematics at grade A; use the course's country selector for the applicant's own school qualification.
  • Its conversion MSc accepts a UK 2:2 honours degree or overseas equivalent in a subject other than computing.
  • International Business MSc has its own higher degree classification and selection criteria.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Requirements differ by course.
  • International Business MSc (Dubai) specifies IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or listed alternatives.
  • Use the Dubai entry-requirements page and the exact course table; foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate English requirements are not interchangeable.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • BSc Computer Science lists September.
  • The current Computer Science MSc page advertises September 2027 full-time and January 2027 part-time fees; do not infer January full-time availability from an older cached page.
  • International Business MSc currently lists January 2027 options.
  • Confirm mode, availability and any visa sponsorship with Dubai admissions.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The checked pages do not establish one universal international application deadline.
  • Follow the selected Dubai course and the conditions/deposit deadline in the individual offer, allowing time for documents and UAE residence processing.
  • An advertised start month is not an application closing date.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • Current Dubai course pages list AED 162,203 per year for BSc Computer Science September 2027 entry and AED 180,617 for the one-year full-time MSc Computer Science September 2027 entry.
  • International Business MSc January 2027 lists AED 166,356 full-time.
  • These are Dubai tuition examples, not UK fees; visa, accommodation and living expenses are additional, and the offer confirms the applicable amount.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The Dubai campus advertises tuition scholarships for eligible applicants, with consideration following an offer under the relevant scheme.
  • Check programme, intake, academic and combination rules.
  • A conditional admission offer is not confirmation of scholarship value, and UK Student Loans Company support should not be assumed for Dubai study.
