Why Study in Dubai?
Dubai puts an international degree within a four-hour flight of Visakhapatnam, which is why it appeals to students who want to stay close to home. Undergraduate tuition runs roughly AED 40,000 to AED 100,000 a year and postgraduate programmes AED 50,000 to AED 120,000. The University of Dubai, for instance, charges Indian undergraduates AED 66,990–77,140.
Key Takeaways
- Undergraduate tuition AED 40,000–100,000 a year; postgraduate AED 50,000–120,000
- Living costs AED 4,000–6,500 a month, accommodation included
- Your university applies for the student visa on your behalf
- Working requires a separate permit and a No Objection Certificate from your institution

How the Dubai Student Visa Works
Dubai differs from most destinations in one useful way: your university applies for the student visa on your behalf. You supply documents and details to the institution, and it handles the filing. Budget AED 2,500–3,500 for the visa including processing and the medical tests.
Working While You Study
Students can work, but not automatically. You need a separate work permit and a No Objection Certificate from your institution, and you must be enrolled and in good academic standing. Do not assume the student visa alone entitles you to work — it does not.
