Yes, here’s what you’ll typically need for a UAE master’s application based on your profile:

- Bachelor’s degree certificate and official transcripts (you’ll also need a UAE Ministry of Education Equivalency Certificate since your degree is from outside the UAE)
- Statement of Purpose (SOP)
- Two Letters of Recommendation (from professors or employers)
- Updated Resume/CV (highlighting your 10 years of work experience)
- Proof of English proficiency (if eligible for an IELTS waiver, prepare a Medium of Instruction certificate if your degree was taught in English)
- Valid passport copy (at least 6 months validity)
- Passport-sized photographs (as per university requirements)
- Medical certificate (from a government hospital in India)
- Police clearance certificate
- Birth certificate (with translation if not in English or Arabic)
- Proof of financial means (such as bank statements)
- Application fee payment receipt (if required)
- Employer approval letter (if currently employed and needing study leave)

Requirements may vary by university and are subject to change.
