Yes, most universities in the Netherlands, UK, and UAE will accept a provisional degree certificate for admission if your final certificate is not yet issued. This lets you secure a conditional offer while waiting for your official documents.

However, you will usually need to submit your final degree certificate or official proof of graduation before your course begins or to meet visa requirements. Provisional certificates may not be accepted for visa applications.
