Qualification Recognition Report (QRR) Requirements for Doctoral Applicants

Applicants for the doctoral degree who earned their undergraduate or graduate degrees from
universities outside the UAE must present a Certificate of Equivalency or a Qualification Recognition report for their graduation certificates from the UAE Ministry of
Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR).

• Applications for Equivalency/QRR can be done on the MOHESR website. For a
  detailed list of the requirements and documents, visit https://www.mohesr.gov.ae/en/Pages/Home.aspx  under the Recognition
  section. You may also contact +971 (800 511) or email Info@mohesr.gov.ae.
  
  
• Applicants will be required to attest their bachelor's and master’s degree certificates
  and official transcripts before leaving their home country and/or the country in which
  they graduated. For information about the required attestations, please see the
  section https://www.aus.edu/admissions/masters-degrees/attestations

Please note that AUS is not involved in the equivalency process or decisions. Issuing the
Certificate of Equivalency/QRR is fully controlled by the UAE Ministry of Higher
Education and Scientific Research.
 
Applicants who have applied for a Certificate of Equivalency/QRR but have not
concluded the equivalency process by the time of registration will be given the chance to
register for the first semester, provided that they sign the Graduate Admission Contract.
