  To be eligible for admission to graduate programs, applicants must hold a Bachelor's degree if applying for a Master's program or a Master's degree if applying for a PhD program. Degrees must be from Beirut Arab University or from a recognized university. All applicants must fulfill relevant academic entry requirements established by the respective Faculty, and they must submit all required documentation.

• Language Proficiency
  

  Beirut Arab University graduates are exempted from language proficiency examinations. For applicants from other universities, demonstrating English language proficiency is mandatory.

Additionally, in some faculties, French proficiency may be accepted as an alternative to English.

  Candidates must have attained a minimum required cumulative GPA consistent with the Faculty’s policies. Specific requirements regarding conditional admission may apply to those with lower GPA, where the completion of additional courses to enhance academic standing may be necessary.

• Additional Faculty-Specific Criteria
  

  Each Faculty may request additional requirements including, but not limited to, passing specific entrance exams or interviews, especially for candidates whose previous degrees were obtained several years prior to admission. Additionally, there may be requirements for students aiming to enter programs outside their primary area of study, contingent upon the completion of certain prerequisite coursework.

Full acceptance into the graduate program is subject to the review and approval of the respective Faculty, ensuring that all candidates meet the necessary academic and institutional standards.
