As a condition of study, you are required to pay a non-returnable tuition fee deposit of AED 5,000 at the time of accepting your offer by the deadline on your Conditional Offer.
Your deposit is an advance payment of tuition fees and will be deducted from the total tuition fees.
How to pay your tuition fees
You can pay your deposit and tuition fees directly into the University's bank account, by electronic bank transfer.
You can either pay the outstanding tuition fee for the academic year at the start of your programme or benefit from a termly instalment payment plan.
If you are under the age of 21 you will need to provide a signed guarantor form. Details of this will be provided once you receive your offer letter.
Please note that you will not be eligible for financial support from the Student Loans Company or any of its regional agencies. However, our scholarships are available to assist you with your tuition fees.
