Admission to undergraduate programs at UAE universities through ED-EX.com— is a consistent and structured process. Below is a step-by-step algorithm: from analyzing universities to obtaining a student visa.


Step 1. Analysis of universities and strategy development


Once you've researched universities on ED-EX.com, familiarized yourself with their requirements, programs, duration of study, and costs, you need to determine the most suitable options.


At this stage it is important:


  • compare your GPA with the minimum requirements
  • check language requirements
  • evaluate the structure of the program
  • take into account the budget
  • determine the desired intake


Only after analyzing these parameters is a list of universities for submission formed.

Next, on the selected program, you need to press the button Enroll.


At the end of the application, you can add up to four additional universities, which allows you to increase your chances of receiving an Offer and build a more secure admissions strategy.


Step 2. Filling out the questionnaire and preliminary profile assessment


After selecting the programs, you need to fill out a questionnaire on the platform ED-EX.com.


The questionnaire specifies:


  • personal data
  • current status of training
  • average score
  • English language level
  • selected universities


Once submitted, the questionnaire is sent to ED-EX.com specialists for moderation.


At this stage, a preliminary academic assessment is carried out:


  • compliance with minimum requirements is checked
  • the average score is analyzed
  • the need for IELTS is being assessed
  • the realism of the selected programs is determined


If your profile does not meet the requirements of the selected university, this will be displayed in your personal account:


  • the application status changes
  • a comment appears with an explanation
  • It indicates which parameters need to be adjusted


Adjustments are made before the official submission to the university, which significantly reduces the risk of rejection.


Step 3. Document preparation and official submission


Once the strategy is confirmed, the process of compiling a complete set of documents and officially submitting them to universities begins.


Bachelor programs typically require:


  • Passport (valid for the entire period of study)
  • Transcript (academic transcript with grades for the last years of study)
  • Secondary education certificate (if already received)
  • IELTS (if required by the program)


If the student has not yet completed high school, current grades are submitted. In this case, the university may issue a conditional offer.

If documents are not issued in English, an official translation is required.


At this stage, specialists ED-EX.com:


  • check the accuracy and completeness of documents
  • bring them into line with the formal requirements of the university
  • formalize the official submission


After the submission process is complete, documents are sent to the admissions committee of the selected universities.

The average application review period ranges from 5 to 21 business days, depending on the program and university.


Step 4: Obtaining an Offer Letter


Based on the review results, the university issues:


Unconditional Offer— enrollment confirmed.

or

Conditional Offer— enrollment is confirmed after certain conditions are met (for example, providing a final certificate or confirmation of English language proficiency).


An Offer Letter is an official document of acceptance.


Step 5. Confirm your location


To secure your place, you must pay a deposit.


Deposit payment:


  • fixes the place
  • confirms the intention to study
  • allows you to proceed to visa processing


The deposit amount is set by the university.


Step 6. Visa processing


Once your enrollment is confirmed, the student visa process begins.


Typically required:


  • Offer Letter
  • copy of passport
  • medical examination
  • payment confirmation


After receiving a visa, the student can enter the country and begin studies.
