Graduate Studies Admissions
General Requirements for Admission
Disclaimer
The admission information contained in this publication most accurately describes the admission
policies, regulations, requirements and procedures of the University. The University reserves the right to
delete, substitute, change or supplement any statement in this publication without prior notice.
Admission Policy
The Admissions and Registration Office is responsible for the administration of the University’s
graduate admission policy. The decision to admit an applicant to pursue graduate study at ALHOSN
University is based upon evaluations of both qualitative and quantitative information.
All applicants must provide a completed application form, a statement of purpose for graduate study,
three letters of recommendation, and records of previous academic achievements. Some degree
programs may require additional credentials, such as the results of the Graduate Record Examination or
another standardized test score. The minimum entry requirement into graduate programs at ALHOSN
University is a Bachelor’s degree in relevant field from a UAE (MoHESR) accredited institution.
The decision to admit is restricted to the degree program of study identified in the application and the
student may not enroll in another degree program without formal admission. Once a student is
admitted to a degree program and enrolls in classes he/ she must remain in that program for one
semester before admission will be approved to change to another degree program. Such a request will
have the status of a new application for admission, subject to the current conditions.
The decision to admit is valid for one academic year (with departmental approval) for use in
making initial enrollment to a given program. After the lapse of one fall or spring semester without
enrollment, an applicant must submit a new application, statement of purpose, and application fee. Based
on the graduate coordinator of each program’s recommendation, the graduate school dean has the
authority to grant admission to the graduate program, which will be communicated to the Admissions
and Registration Office and to the applicant. Only a written notice of admission is valid proof of
admission. After applications and supporting credentials have been received, applicants for admission
are notified of the action taken on their application.
Admission to ALHOSN University for graduate study is open to qualified students regardless of race,
creed, color, natural origin, handicap, sex, or veteran status. To be considered for admission all
supporting materials should be in the Admissions and Registration Office according to the following
