What steps do I follow to apply for a masters in Dubai?
→To apply for a masters in Dubai, shortlist universities and courses, check eligibility, take any required tests like IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, GMAT or GRE, prepare your documents, submit the online application, track its status, accept your offer with the required deposit, and then start the student visa process.
Do I need to submit an IELTS score for my master's application to universities in Dubai, given that my bachelor's was completed in English and I have an MOI certificate?
→Not always. An MOI certificate can replace IELTS at some Dubai universities, for example the University of Dubai exempts English-medium bachelor's graduates, but others such as RIT Dubai apply a narrower rule, so the waiver depends on the specific institution.
Which English proficiency test, IELTS or PTE, should I take for my target universities in Dubai, considering my strong academic record and high English marks?
→Take IELTS Academic if you haven't committed yet: it covers every Dubai university on your shortlist, including American University in Dubai, which lists IELTS 6.5 but not PTE, while PTE only works if you're set on University of Wollongong in Dubai, IELTS 6.0 or PTE 54, or Murdoch University Dubai.
