What are the tuition fees for an LLM program in Dubai, considering both public and private universities?

LLM tuition in Dubai typically costs AED 75,000 to AED 100,000 per year, since almost all LLM programs are at private or international branch-campus universities rather than public ones. That converts to roughly Rs. 18 to 25 lakh annually, excluding living costs.

Dubai does not have a large public-university LLM market like India does, so nearly every LLM option is at a private or international branch-campus university. Expect to budget between AED 75,000 and AED 100,000 for a one-year program, plus living costs.

Other Costs to Budget For

  • VAT and inclusions: Check whether the quoted fee already includes VAT, since some universities list VAT-inclusive totals.
  • Application and visa fees: These are typically charged separately from tuition.
  • Living expenses: Dubai accommodation costs can add significantly to your total annual budget beyond tuition alone.

My Advice

Confirm whether the university's published LLM fee already includes VAT before comparing programs, since an inclusive figure at one university and an exclusive one at another can make costs look more different than they really are. Also ask each university for its most recent 2026-27 fee, since these figures can shift from one intake to the next.
