IELTS and TOEFL are the most widely accepted English language proficiency tests for Master's programs in the UAE. Most universities require an IELTS score of 6.5 or a TOEFL score of 86 for postgraduate admissions, but requirements vary by institution and are subject to change.

PTE Academic and Duolingo English Test (DET) are accepted by some UAE universities, but their recognition is more limited. Choosing IELTS or TOEFL is the safest option for broad eligibility.

If you need help selecting the right test or understanding score requirements, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
