Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, AED ). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in AED , not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (32 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from AED at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
