Which master's specialisation suits a Bachelor of Law graduate applying to UAE with 1 year 6 months of work experience and 68% marks and IELTS 6.5?

Your 68 percent marks are actually the detail worth double checking before your IELTS 6.5, since UAE Master of Law admission criteria are commonly expressed as a GPA equivalent, often around 3.0 out of 4.0, rather than a percentage, and some universities offer conditional admission routes below that threshold.

Why Your 68 Percent Needs a University-Specific Check

The UAE's national admission criteria for a Master of Law generally expect a recognised law bachelor's degree at around a 3.0 out of 4.0 GPA equivalent, though some universities, such as Umm Al Quwain University, publish more accessible routes, including conditional admission in a lower band; ask each target university to convert your 68 percent before ruling any option out.

My Advice

Match the specialisation to what your 1 year 6 months of work experience actually involved: law firm or corporate work points toward Commercial Law, litigation points toward Arbitration, and banking or compliance work points toward Financial Crime, rather than picking the most prestigious sounding LLM title.
