A sample fee story

Estimated net tuitionAED 98,934.00After the illustrative 40% scholarship and all eight 5% Early Bird discounts.
Estimated total savingAED 80,946.00Against the AED 179,880.00 base tuition fee in this illustration.
Illustrative first paymentAED 23,516.75AED 12,366.75 first-trimester tuition plus AED 11,150.00 visa-related charges.

The below Tuition Fee Breakdown provides an estimate for the September 2026 intake, based on a 40% scholarship, the applicable 5% Early Bird discount, and the listed visa, medical, and refundable security deposit charges. This is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute a fee quotation or scholarship decision.

To qualify for the first-trimester Early Bird discount, you should submit your application, receive your offer letter and pay your acceptance fee in full by the exclusive deadline specified by your recruiter. This deadline is unique to your offer, so please confirm it directly with your recruiter.

Step 1 See your estimated tuition and savingsAED 98,934.00

Start with the full degree tuition, then subtract the illustrative scholarship and all eight Early Bird discounts.

In this illustration, both reductions are calculated from the gross base fee. Where both apply, they produce a combined 45% reduction for that trimester.

Tuition only: AED 98,934.00 is the estimated tuition for the degree. Visa, medical and refundable security-deposit charges are separate.
Step 2 Understand your first paymentAED 23,516.75

After you receive an offer, the acceptance fee is the first payment used to accept your offer and continue your enrolment. It is not an extra tuition charge. Think of this sample payment as two parts:

Included in your tuition

First-trimester tuition

This AED 12,366.75 is already included in the AED 98,934.00 estimated tuition shown in Step 1.

Visa-related charges

These charges apply where relevant. Your recruiter will confirm which charges apply to you.

Visa-related total
AED 11,150.00
AED 12,366.75+AED 11,150.00=AED 23,516.75
Do not add AED 23,516.75 again to AED 98,934.00. AED 12,366.75 of this first payment is already counted within your estimated tuition. Only the AED 11,150.00 visa-related amount sits outside tuition.
Estimated tuition left after your first paymentAED 86,567.25Seven later trimester tuition payments of AED 12,366.75 each, if the same fee and discount assumptions continue.
Do not miss your personal deadline. The sample lists the September 2026 payment date as “As per your exclusive deadline”. Your recruiter must confirm that date and your final acceptance-fee amount.
Step 3 View the trimester payment plan8 trimesters

The degree has 24 units: three units in each of eight trimesters. In this illustration, each trimester is AED 13,491.00 after the scholarship, or AED 12,366.75 if its Early Bird deadline is met. The first-trimester tuition is already included in Step 2; the remaining seven tuition payments are paid later according to this schedule.
