It depends on the university in the UAE. Many MBA programs require an entrance test such as the GMAT, GRE, or a university-specific exam in addition to English proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL.
- Some universities may waive these tests if you have strong academics or relevant work experience.
- Requirements vary by institution and program.
