You can fund your master's in the UAE using either family savings or an education loan. Both options are common, and many students use a combination.

- Tuition fees: AED 50,000 - 90,000/year (subject to change)
- Living expenses: AED 36,000 - 84,000/year (subject to change)
- Education loans: Indian banks and NBFCs offer loans, with interest rates starting around 9.5%/year. Collateral may be required for larger amounts; some unsecured loans are available for select institutions.

You may also explore scholarship opportunities from UAE universities to reduce costs. If you need help evaluating loan options or scholarships, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
