Attestation of Documents and Certificates

All applicants for admission are required to obtain equivalency of their bachelor’s degree qualifications from the UAE Ministry of Education. The attestation process is dependent upon whether the student completed his/her bachelor’s degree within the UAE or outside the UAE. Attestation of degrees issued by institutes of higher education accredited outside UAE is necessary.

 

Bachelor degree obtained within the UAE

With the exception of applicants who have completed the bachelors’ degree in local universities, Attestation of documents and academic qualifications issued by Private Higher Education Institutions that are accredited and licensed by the Ministry inside the country is compulsory.

 

Bachelor degree obtained outside the UAE

Bachelor degree certificates must be attested by the Ministry of Education in the country where the Issuing degree is based. Degree certificates and transcripts must be attested by the Ministry of Foreign affairs in the country of origin and the UAE embassy or consulate in that same country. If the student is not able to have the attestation completed by the UAE embassy or consulate in that same country, he might also be able to obtain the same attestation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the UAE upon their arrival. For further details related to equivalency in the UAE you shall refer to the Ministry of Education for certificate equivalency.
