I will explain the admission and scholarship process in two of the schools namely:
United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) and
Khalifa University (KU).
The same process applies to other schools.
Just use this method for other schools.
Today, we will discuss the admission and scholarship process in UAEU.
For the Admission process, follow these steps:
1. Check out the list of Graduate Programs (Msc and PhD) in this link: uaeu.ac.ae/en/cgs/program… (Please make sure you are using Google Chrome so as to automatically translate to English as shown below:)
2. If your course is there, then click the 'Admission Requirements' as shown in the image above.
Check for your Msc or Ph.D. course to be sure if you have them.
For example, the requirement for Msc Program is shown below:
There are about 3 requirements for full admission and other conditions for partial admission.
Please read this place well.
Basically, you need:
a. A cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or equivalent, in all undergraduate work.
b. A Bachelor’s degree or it's equivalent from an accredited university recognized by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

5. Let's talk about Ph.D. Fellowship (All Nationalities):

'After 51 mails, 25 rejections, and 2 hopeful response, I finally got my 1st yes! This message is to encourage and inspire someone out there who is still waiting for a yes because I was on this boat and I can tell you it was not easy rocking it'.
When we say that this journey is not for the weak. I hope you understand better?
One Yes is enough to make you forget many struggles.
Keep applying. Keep sending those emails.
You will get it soon.
Another big win for @AdeleyeSamuelA and I, and Glory to God.
By the way, when you are told to apply and keep in touch, I'm sure you know what it means😀.
As you begin to jot down your points, begin to ask yourself the skills you currently have.
1. First, list the courses in your undergrad and experiences in your undergrad.
that is related to the course you want to study. Which course specifically stands out for you that made you want to further explore? write it down.
If you want a master's in a new field, begin to write down why you want this new field. Do you have background experiences in this new field, If no, begin to search for online courses or internship related to this course
On this SOP matter, we will keep writing tips until many of you get it so that the stress will be reduced.
In this series, I will be explaining in details the content of a good SOP.
1. It should tell us your inclinations i.e the things that appeal to you naturally or as a result of some problems you want to solve in your environment.
Why did you study your undergraduate course? Is it as a result of the things you observed were not right and you want to
correct? Are there emerging technologies in your field that you feel like exploring?
Truth is that many of us do not have compelling reasons to study our courses because of our environment. Many were 'given' the course because of issues beyond their capacity.
Que: How can I survive in France? Can I save as much as I want? how?
Ans: As an international student, you can save up to 700 Euros/month by working 20hrs per week. And as an African, you can work more hours provided you can combine it with the school.
This means that with the scholarship described in Part A and your frugality, you can save as much as you want.
Que: What kind of jobs are available for students and how many hrs?
Ans: Once you get to the school, walk straight to the dept and ask them for on opportunities.
