Entry to Amity University Dubai’s Master of Science in Forensic Sciences program is largely based on evidence of a capacity to undertake higher degree studies. Regular admission is granted to applicants with a recognized Bachelor’s degree earned in any science discipline, with a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or its established equivalent from a University that is recognized by the Ministry of Education in the UAE.

Applicants must also achieve a minimum score of 1400 on the English language portion of the EmSAT examination, or its equivalent on other national or internationally recognized tests approved by the CAA, such as a TOEFL score of 550 (213 CBT, 79 iBT), or an IELTS Academic score of 6.0. Students who have completed undergraduate education in an English-medium institution can be exempted from the English language requirement, subject to satisfactory evidence being vetted by Admissions.

Conditional admissions can be granted to applicants with an EmSAT score of 1250 or its equivalent on another standardized test approved by the CAA, such as a TOEFL score of 530 (197 CBT, 71 iBT), or 5.5 IELTS Academic. In this context, students granted conditional admissions must achieve an EmSAT score of 1400 or equivalent, by the end of their first semester of study, but may take a maximum of six regular credit hours in the first semester of study, not including intensive English courses, and must achieve a minimum CGPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or its established equivalent.

Conditionally admitted applicants not fulfilling the English proficiency requirement by the end of their first semester of study are considered under probation.

Moreover conditional admissions can be granted to applicants with a CGPA of 2.5/4.0 scale or its established equivalent. In this case, students must register for a maximum of nine graduate-level credit hours in the first semester of study and achieve a minimum CGPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or be subject to academic probation. Applicants with a CGPA of 2.0/4.0 scale or its established equivalent may also be granted conditional admission. Such students must register for a maximum of six graduate-level credit hours in the first semester of study and achieve a minimum CGPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or its established equivalent, during the first semester. Not fulfilling these requirements will result in academic probation.
