Yes, many universities accept students into finance-related master's programs without a finance background.

- Universities in the UAE (such as Zayed University) do not require prior education or work experience in finance.
- Some programs (like University of Stirling UAE) accept applicants with significant relevant work or life experience, even if their degree is not in finance.
- A few universities may require a strong quantitative background or a degree in a related field (such as economics, mathematics, or engineering).

Requirements vary by university and program, so check the specific entry criteria for your target courses. If you need help evaluating your options, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
