Gain quality value-for-money education

The new fee structure will be applicable for all current and new students at the Australian university

Murdoch University Dubai has recently announced a significant adjustment to its course fees for 2021 in response to the ongoing financial burden of the Covid-19 pandemic on many of its students and families. Murdoch University will reduce its course fees for the Dubai campus for both new and returning students across all undergraduate and postgraduate programmes for its May and September 2021 intakes.

For Murdoch Dubai, the objective of this revised fee structure is to make education as affordable as possible in these challenging times. "Murdoch University has always been and remains committed to supporting the needs and aspirations of our students and their educational goals and making a high-quality international university experience as accessible as possible," said Dr James Trotter, Dean and Academic President.

Dr Trotter is confident this news will be warmly welcomed by both the university's students in the UAE and internationally. "It means our students, both current and future, will be able to pursue their dreams of a globally recognised, high-quality Australian education at our new Dubai Knowledge Park. We are confident our revised prices make us the best value-for-money university in Dubai," Dr Trotter explained.

According to Mark Brown, General Manager of the Dubai Campus, "Reducing our prices does not mean a compromise on the Murdoch University student learning experience or a reduction in quality. Our students can expect the same high-quality learning experience that we have so proudly delivered in Dubai since 2008."

Murdoch University Dubai continues to offer a range of generous Academic Merit Scholarships ranging from 15 per cent to 40 per cent and has also introduced a new 50 per cent scholarship for their pre-university Foundation Program, which facilitates a seamless transition from high school to higher education.

It is also an exciting pathway programme for mature individuals who couldn't access or complete formal university education in the past.

There is also something special for postgraduate students. "We are very much aware of the financial challenges for our postgraduate students, many of whom pay for their education themselves while working. To assist them, we have reduced the fees for all our master's courses as well as introduced a guaranteed 20 per cent scholarship for our MBA programme," Brown added.

Under the revised fee structure, all undergraduate programmes (double majors available) are priced at Dh155,000 for the entire course, the Master of Education and Master of Information Technology is Dh75,000, MBA is priced at Dh89,000 with a guaranteed 20 per cent scholarship, the postgraduate and graduate certificates in Business and Education will be Dh25,000 each and the Foundation and Diploma pathway programmes will be Dh44,100 and Dh51,500 with a guaranteed 50 per cent scholarship each.

Applications are now open for May and September 2021.

"A positive student experience is at the heart of everything we do at Murdoch University Dubai. It's for the same reason we believe our reduced fees with our fantastic new campus along with our international faculty will give students a significant head start in their lives. Murdoch University students can choose two majors in their bachelor's programme which positions us as the best value for money international higher education institute in the UAE."

"I was really interested in Murdoch University Dubai because they offered the double major option. During my time at the university, the faculty were always more than happy to help me every time I needed any career guidance. I was really blown away by the support and guidance I received from everyone during my studies."
