Yes, you can start your university application process with a provisional degree certificate if your final degree certificate is not yet available.
Most universities, including those in the UAE, accept provisional certificates as proof that you have completed your degree requirements. This allows you to receive conditional admission. However, you will need to submit your final degree certificate or official proof of graduation before your course begins and for your student visa application.
