The same applies to students not fulfilling the math requirements. In this line, students can register for the University’s non-transferrable remedial math course. They may be granted conditional admission but will not be permitted to register in any Math or Statistics courses, or any course that has a math Prerequisite, until the successful completion of the necessary remedial-math course.

Graduate Admissions

Postgraduate Diploma

Entry to Amity University Dubai’s Postgraduate Diploma is largely based on evidence of a capacity to undertake higher degree studies. Admission is granted to applicants with a Bachelor Degree with a minimum GPA of 2.0 on a scale of 4.0 or equivalent from a University that is recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education in the UAE, and a minimum TOEFL score of 550 (213 CBT/79 iBT) or IELTS academic (minimum band of 6.0) or an equivalent score on an internationally recognized test. Students who have completed undergraduate education in a university where English is the medium of instruction can be exempted from the English language requirement subject to satisfactory evidence being vetted by Admissions. At the discretion of Admissions and the relevant school, applicants who fall short of meeting the 2.0/4.0 GPA (but not less than 1.3/3.0) or the English proficiency requirement might be granted “probationary” admission but can only register for a total of 6 credits in their first semester. Students should score 2.5/4.0 on all registered courses to remove the “probationary” status and be permitted to register in future courses. In addition to above listed requirements, applicants should successfully pass an interview with an ad-hoc Committee from the relevant school.

• At the discretion of Admissions and the Business School, applicants who fall short of meeting the 3.0/4.0 GPA (but not less than 2.3/3.0) or the English proficiency requirement might be granted “probationary” admission but can only register for a total of 6 credits in their first semester. Students should score at least 3.0/4.0 on all registered courses to remove the “probationary” status and be permitted to register in future courses. 
• Applicants with an undergraduate degree that is not in business, economics, or an allied subject, can be admitted to the MBA program subject to registering and successfully completing the graduate bridging courses requirements or equivalent undergraduate courses that are approved by the Business School. These courses are currently set as follows ACCT 501 (3 CR) Survey of Accounting and Finance, QMET 502 (3 CR) Survey of Statistics for Decision Making, ISYS 503 (3 CR) Spreadsheets and Databases
• Nevertheless, an applicant with a science or engineering degree or with a degree that has information systems or/and statistics courses, may be exempted from QMET 502 and/or ISYS 503 subject to appropriate evidence being provided. Official undergraduate transcripts should show these courses with a minimum achieved score of 2.3/3.0. If a student fails in any of the bridging courses, he/she will be permitted to repeat that course only once. Failure to meet the requirements stipulated above will result in the student being dropped from the graduate program.

Bridging courses must be completed during the first year of enrollment in the MBA program. 
• Holders of graduate-level professional qualifications such as Postgraduate Diploma, Master’s Degree in other disciplines, may also be admitted and are encouraged to apply. 
• Although not a requirement, a GMAT or GRE test score that has been received within the past 3 years prior to applying to the MBA, can strengthen the student’s application. In addition, relevant work experience is viewed favorably when vetting the applicant’s file. 

In addition to above listed requirements, applicants should successfully pass an interview with an ad-hoc Committee from the Business School.
