Most master's programs in the UAE are 1 to 2 years long, depending on the course and university.

With your four-year bachelor's degree and 18 months of work experience, you meet the typical entry requirements for these programs. Duration can vary by university, so check specific programs for exact timelines.

If you need help identifying the best-fit courses, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.

Yes, both Ireland and the UAE offer one-year master's programs.

In Ireland, most master's degrees are designed for 12 - 18 months, making them shorter than the typical two-year programs found elsewhere.

In the UAE, several universities also provide one-year master's options.

Availability and duration can vary by university and course, so it's important to check specific program details. If you need help identifying suitable one-year master's programs, your LeapScholar counsellor can assist.
