Students who have completed the International Year Zero at DMU Dubai will not be eligible for this scholarship and are instead eligible for the International Year Zero progression award.
-
Postgraduate students are not eligible for Academic Merit Scholarships.
-
All decisions regarding scholarship eligibility are at the discretion of the DMU Dubai Admissions team and/or relevant Subject Head after evaluating scores of individual relevant subjects.
-
Those eligible for an Academic Merit Scholarship will receive either a 20%, 25% or 30% discount of their gross tuition fees.
