Studying in the United Arab Emirates

The rules and the money, before you apply

These apply to every international student in the United Arab Emirates, including at Abu Dhabi School of Management. Each figure shows where it came from and when we last checked it.

Money you must show

No national figure published

Your university sponsors your residence permit and acts as guarantor. GDRFA Dubai lists no financial guarantee for students. Ask your university what it requires, often a fee deposit.

How to apply in the United Arab Emirates

The same rules for every institution in the United Arab Emirates; Abu Dhabi School of Management's own programme pages govern the exact dates and scores. Guide checked 24 Sep 2026.

Deadlines and intakes

Universities commonly start in August or September, and many also admit in spring. Each sets its own intakes and deadlines: at AUS, check the university's deadlines page. Branch campuses often run additional intakes.

The visa is quick once your university applies, but it will only apply once you have accepted your offer and paid what it requires. Ask your university how long it takes from your deposit to an entry permit, and arrange housing in parallel.

Language you need

University teaching is overwhelmingly in English. AUS asks for IELTS Academic 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 80, with scores valid for two years. Other universities and branch campuses set their own minimums. Arabic is the official language, and helps in government and some public sector jobs, but you do not need it to study or work in most of the private sector.
