How much savings should I have initially to cover deposit, application fees, and other expenses in UAE for a Master's?

You should have savings between AED 60,000 and AED 100,000 to comfortably cover your initial expenses for a master's in the UAE. This typically includes:

- Application fees: AED 200 - 500
- Tuition deposit: varies by university (usually part of annual fees)
- Visa processing fees: AED 3,000 - 7,000
- Health insurance: AED 1,500 - 2,500
- Living costs: accommodation, food, transport, and personal expenses for the first few months

This amount helps you meet visa financial requirements and manage all upfront payments smoothly.
