To be considered for DSTI’s Executive MSc programmes, applicants need to fulfil the following requirements:
Applicants must hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) from a recognised institution. While there are no specific field restrictions, applicants generally come from backgrounds in science, technology, or social sciences/humanities. Those from social sciences/humanities should have some exposure to scientific methods, particularly in the use of statistics, in fields such as (but not limited to) economics, finance, sociology, linguistics, and related areas.
Applicants should have 4 to 5 years of professional experience, ideally in roles related or connected to science and/or technology. Applicants with managerial (including junior management) positions are particularly sought after.
DSTI offers two methods for prospective executive students to showcase their academic qualifications. While applicants are required to submit only one type of academic record from the options provided, presenting evidence of additional qualifications from the list below may improve their chances of being admitted. In any case, proof of a Master’s degree is mandatory.
To maintain the high standards of our application process, we place importance on scores from standardised tests. For the GRE, candidates should aim for a minimum score of 155 in the quantitative section with a total score near 300. For the GMAT, a minimum score of 42 is expected, with an overall score above 600.
If the above criteria cannot be met, applicants may opt to take the online DSTI Entry Exam from home. All that is required is a computer and a stable internet connection. The exam consists of two sections: Mathematics and IT.
As all courses are delivered in English, students should possess at least a B2 level of English proficiency. DSTI will evaluate this during the Admission Interview. To strengthen their application, students may provide their IELTS or TOEFL scores.
Students at DSTI should have a Windows PC laptop, not Apple Mac, with these minimum specs:
At least Intel Core i5 quad-core or Intel i7 dual-core (or AMD equivalent).
8GB as the absolute minimum, but 16GB highly recommended.
Minimum 512GB, 1TB recommended. SSD required.
It’s a personel choice of investment. If to be done, NVIDIA GPU.
Your PC must be able to run the main latest Windows version (currently: Windows 11).
DSTI will provide a Windows Education (eq. to Enterprise edition) key when classes start.
Don’t purchase MS Office 365: DSTI will provide a full product license when classes start.
The admission procedure at DSTI School of Engineering is a selective and competitive, yet inclusive endeavour that provides deserving candidates a fair chance. This outlined admission process applies to all study modes.

and higher than 280 for an average total. For the GMAT, target a minimum score of 42, or over 560.
This can be submitted in addition to your academic records to boost your application.

We may ask you to complete the DSTI Entry Exam in addition to submitting your academic records. The exam can be completed from home. All that’s needed is a computer and stable internet access. The exam comprises two sections: Mathematics and IT.
If your application is successful, you will be invited to attend an admission interview which will last approximately 20 minutes. During the interview, you will be asked questions to confirm your interest, course suitability and English proficiency.
Upon completion of the admission process, you will be notified of your official admission decision, which may result in one of three outcomes:
This outcome is for students who have met all admission criteria without any issues.
Conditional admission is for students who may not meet one admission criteria but are given extra time by the institute to enhance a specific skill or submit required paperwork.
DSTI may reject an application if it doesn’t meet the cohort’s admission criteria. This is not personal bias. Students are encouraged to reapply after enhancing their profile.
