MBRU is keen to attract talented students and support their educational journey. Aligned with our value of giving, we have established two scholarship programs.  Complete information regarding those programs is available here.

Applicants can be self-funded or come with their own external scholarship funds too. We do not offer full scholarship.

The annual tuition fee is AED 160,000. This is payable in two installments, by the beginning of each semester, either by cheque or bank transfer.

Candidates will not be offered a place at MBRU without going through the MMI process. We do not offer Skype, telephone or video-linked interviews.

Details on MMI process is available here

Please note that for your application to be considered, you have to complete the online application, upload the required documents, and pay the application fee. An experienced panel of MBRU faculty and staff will then review completed applications against our published minimum requirements. Qualified short-listed candidates will be invited for on-campus multiple mini-interviews (MMI) planned for late February. Candidates who are not invited for interviews will be notified at that time with a regret notice.

Interviewed applicants will then be ranked by the admission team based on their academic qualifications and interview performance. Ranked applicants will be sent conditional offers by end of March.

Yes, we will consider a new application as if it was the first.
