Is it possible to score at least 7 in each module of the English test to improve my chances in UAE/Dubai for a Master's?

Yes, scoring at least 7 in each module of your English proficiency test can strengthen your application for master's programs in the UAE.
Many universities require an overall minimum score, but some also set minimums for each module. For example:
- University of Wollongong in Dubai: Overall IELTS 6.5, no band below 6.0.
- American University of Sharjah: Minimum IELTS 6.5, with possible module requirements.
A 7 in each module shows strong, balanced English skills and may exceed typical requirements, making your profile more competitive. University and program requirements vary, so ensure you meet the specific criteria for each institution.
