What is the expected budget range for studying in Dubai universities, and can it be managed through loans or savings?
The expected annual budget for studying in Dubai universities is typically AED 82,000 - 164,000 (about ₹18.5 - 36 lakh). This covers tuition fees (AED 35,000 - 75,000/year) and living expenses (AED 42,000 - 84,000/year), including accommodation, food, transport, and personal costs.
You can manage these costs using a mix of personal savings and education loans from Indian banks or NBFCs. Loans may cover tuition, living expenses, and travel, usually require a co-applicant, and may need collateral for higher amounts. Repayment typically starts 6 - 12 months after course completion.
