What is the required IELTS band score for admission in UAE for a Master's?
19 Jun 2026 · Answered by Komal Yadav · 1 min read
Most UAE universities require an IELTS Academic score of 6.0 - 6.5 for master's admission. Some may also set minimum scores for individual sections, especially Writing.
- 6.5 overall: Common for top universities and many master's programs.
- 6.0 overall: Accepted by some universities for English-taught programs.
Some institutions may offer conditional admission if your score is slightly below the requirement, but you may need to complete extra English courses.
Requirements can vary by university and program, so confirm the specific score needed for your chosen course. If you need help with university selection or IELTS preparation, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
