The total cost for studying in the UAE, including tuition fees and accommodation, typically ranges between AED 64,500 and AED 200,000 per year (approximately ₹15.2 lakh to ₹46 lakh).
- Tuition fees: AED 30,000 - 120,000/year, depending on university and program
- Accommodation: AED 24,000 - 60,000/year for shared or student housing
Additional living expenses (food, transport, utilities, personal costs) will increase your budget. The overall annual cost depends on your university, program, city, and lifestyle choices.
