About these deadlines
Dates come from the intake periods universities publish for each program on Global Admissions (updated 2026-08-31) and refresh as universities update them. Dates marked est. are projected from last year's cycle while we confirm the current one, so treat them as approximate. Rolling-admission programs aren't listed — they accept applications year-round. Always confirm the date on the program page before planning your application. Once you have your dates, theapplication timeline builder turns them into a week-by-week plan. The United Arab Emirates student visa guide covers the fees, the money you must show and how to apply.
