Entry Requirements

Entry to the five years BBA LL.B (H) program requires students to have attained the General Education Secondary School Certificate (G 12) or equivalent. In addition to achieving a minimum high school average of 60%, all applicants must provide:

Evidence of English Language Proficiency:

• Students from non-MoE curricula that are taught in English are exempt from providing English Language proficiency evidence.
• Students from non-MOE curricula taught in a language other than English must demonstrate proficiency through international standardized tests (IELTS 5 and above).
• Students from the MoE Curriculum must prove their proficiency through High School English grades, which should not be less than 80%.

Conditional admission can be allowed for not achieving the English proficiency scores for students from both non-MoE curricula taught in any other language other than English as well as those from MoE curricula. The following requirements are to be adhered to:

• Non-MoE curricula taught in any other language other than English:
  • Students securing an IELTS score between 4.0 and 4.9 or its established equivalent are permitted to register for the non-credit bearing English remedial course along with two General Education courses. These students ought to secure a minimum CGPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale in semester 1; failure to which shall lead to probation.
  • Students securing an IELTS score between 3.0 and 3.9 or its established equivalent are permitted to register for the non-credit bearing Intensive English course along with one General Education course. These students ought to secure a minimum CGPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale in semester 1; failure to which shall lead to probation.
  • Students securing an IELTS score less than 3.0 or its established equivalent are permitted to register for the non-credit bearing Intensive English course only.
• MoE Curricula:
  • Students with high school English score ranging from 70% to 79% are permitted to register for 12 credits of courses which shall encompass credit bearing courses and remedial courses. The student ought to secure a CGPA of 2.0 on a scale of 4.0 in semester 1; failure to which shall lead to probation.
  • Students with high school English score ranging from 60% to 69% are permitted to register for the non-credit bearing English remedial course along with two General Education courses. These admitted students ought to secure a minimum CGPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale in semester 1; failure to which shall lead to probation.
  • Students with high school English score less than 60% are permitted to register for the non-credit bearing Intensive English course along with General Education Arabic course.

Moreover, applicants whose minimum high school average is less than 60% may be given conditional admission, restricting their course registration to a maximum of 12 credits for the first semester. The students thus admitted ought to secure a minimum CGPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale by the end of semester 1, failure to which shall result in probation.
