| Certificate | Total Score | Writing Score |
| IELTS | 6.5 | 6.0 |

An application to study must consist of the following:
- A completed Postgraduate Application Form.
- Academic transcripts and/or degree certificate(s) to date.
- For international applicants, proof of proficiency in English (see above).
- Academic References
- For Research Programmes (PhD, MPhil, etc) two confidential references in sealed envelopes, signed by the referee across the seal, are required.
- For Taught Programmes (MLitt) applicants from a UK institution are not required to supply references. Applicants with a first degree from outwith the UK are required to submit one reference only.
- A letter from your financial guarantor or written details about your proposed source of fees funding.
1. When the Al-Maktoum Institute receives your form, an acknowledgement letter is issued. Completed applications are considered first by the Institute, before being forwarded to the University of Aberdeen Postgraduate Admissions Office.
2. Successful applicants will receive either a conditional or unconditional admission offer. Under the terms of a conditional offer, applicants are requested to obtain or provide evidence of further or pending qualifications that will allow them to fully satisfy the course entry criteria. Such students may, for example, be awaiting final undergraduate degree results, or an English language test certificate. Unconditional offers may also be issued directly to applicants whose qualifications fully satisfy the entry criteria of their desired postgraduate programme. In addition, it is quite common for UK-based applicants for research degrees and candidates for postgraduate scholarships to be interviewed. Also interviewed (where possible) are those that have been out of education for a period of time.
3. You will be sent an Offer Letter, and an Acceptance/Decline and Financial Guarantee Form. You must complete and return these to the Institute. Once we have received all the necessary documentation you will be ‘cleared for admission’ either immediately (for unconditional offers) or when you have met the conditions of our offer to you. You will then be sent a Certificate of Acceptance which, if you are an overseas student, will allow you to begin arrangements for your student visa. Further information on the visa process is available at www.ukvisas.gov.uk.
4. Once you have been ‘cleared for admission’ you will also be sent, from June onwards, a guide to coming to Dundee, and information regarding registration and tuition fees.
When do I apply?
The academic year at Al-Maktoum starts in September each year. The taught postgraduate programme starts at this time. Applications can be made any time in the prior twelve months, normally before 1 June in the year you wish to start your studies. Postgraduate research students can start any time of the year, the date being agreed between yourself and your supervisor.
Therefore, for research degrees there is no application deadline.
