Exemptions and test rules
Master's applicants are exempt from submitting an English certificate only if they completed all their schooling (K-12) and a bachelor's degree in English in a recognised English-speaking country such as the UK, USA, Australia or New Zealand. DBA applicants can be exempt if their earlier English-taught master's required IELTS 6.0 for admission.
An institutional TOEFL score counts only if the test was taken at an AMIDEAST centre in the UAE. Ajman's pages name IELTS and TOEFL with "or its equivalent"; PTE and Duolingo are not named.

Conditional graduate admission
Graduate applicants with IELTS Academic 5.5 or TOEFL ITP 530 can be admitted conditionally to English-taught programmes. They may take at most six credit hours in the first semester (not counting intensive English), need a CGPA of 3.0 in their first six credit hours and must reach IELTS 6.0 by the end of the conditional period.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Ajman University programme page and in your offer, so check it there before you book a test.
Minimum vs competitive score
Where Ajman University publishes an IELTS score, it is the minimum: the floor an application has to meet to be considered, not a score that guarantees an offer.
Competitive programmes, and courses with far more applicants than places, may expect more than the minimum, and some departments set their own overall or per-skill scores, often for writing or speaking. The course page has the final word, so check it before you book a test.
If you are close to the line, aim for a margin above it: one weak skill can miss the requirement even when the overall band clears it. Not sure where you stand? Take a free IELTS mock test and get a band for each skill.
