Does the budget of ten to fifteen lakhs cover both tuition fees and living expenses in UAE for a Master's?
It depends. A budget of ₹10 - 15 lakhs may cover both tuition fees and living expenses for a Master's in the UAE at some public universities, but it is generally not enough for private universities.
- Public universities: Tuition plus living costs can start from around AED 60,000/year (approx. ₹14.1 lakhs), subject to change.
- Private universities: Total annual costs are usually much higher and often exceed this budget.
Your budget is suitable for the lower range of public university options, but may not cover higher tuition or more expensive living arrangements. For detailed guidance on suitable programs within your budget, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
