Use the latest published fee year until University of Sharjah releases another schedule. Recalculate the budget when the next fee year becomes available.

• The benchmark is annual undergraduate tuition, not a full first-year budget.
• A missing official archive prevents a reliable year-over-year percentage.
• Credit-based postgraduate routes need a separate comparison by required credits.

Cost of Living in Sharjah for Indian Students

Published housing starts at AED 5,670 per year (INR 1.47 Lakhs) for triple rooms. Deluxe singles cost AED 26,415 (INR 6.87 Lakhs).

The university does not publish a complete food, transport, and personal living-cost total in the available fee material. The full cost of living also needs food, transport, phone, and personal spending. The table isolates housing instead of presenting it as a full living budget.

Source: University of Sharjah housing schedule and 2025/2026 catalog.

The university’s housing schedule lists an AED 1,000 security and maintenance deposit (INR 26,000). It is refundable at final checkout when no damage or loss exists.

• University City is the academic campus, while on-campus housing is the residence option measured here.
• The annual discounted contract includes housing only, not meals, transport, phone, or personal spending.
• No official private-rent range was published in the retrieved University of Sharjah material.
• Private leases need separate checks for bills, deposits, lease length, and travel to University City.

Keep the AED 1,000 housing deposit (INR 26,000) separate from the room fee. The catalog describes it as refundable at final checkout when no damage or loss exists.

Total Cost of Studying at the University of Sharjah

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science has a first academic year of INR 18.40 to INR 23.79 Lakhs. This uses published housing-only assumptions.

The cost of studying includes annual tuition, annual on-campus housing, the undergraduate application fee, and the housing deposit. The total cost excludes food, transport, phone, personal spending, insurance, visa charges, and airfare.

Source: University of Sharjah tuition, application, and housing schedules.

This is a true first academic year using annual tuition and annual housing. The undergraduate seat reservation is AED 12,000 (INR 3.12 Lakhs). It is excluded from mandatory fees because it reduces tuition.

• The low, mid, and high cases change only the published annual housing choice.
• The housing deposit is included as upfront cash, although the catalog describes it as refundable.
• Food, transport, phone, personal spending, insurance, visa charges, and airfare remain outside these totals.
• The table is a housing-inclusive first-year budget, not the university’s full cost of attendance.

At unchanged current rates, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science costs AED 254,960 (INR 66.29 Lakhs). This covers four years of tuition. Four annual triple contracts add AED 22,680 (INR 5.90 Lakhs). The combined amount is AED 277,640 (INR 72.20 Lakhs) before named exclusions.

University of Sharjah Scholarships for Indian Students

University of Sharjah publishes a 50% high-school discount and competitive assistantship support. Its Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page calls the undergraduate support discounts, not scholarships.

The strongest published undergraduate discount is 50% of first-semester tuition, subject to the university’s school-score and graduation-recency rules.

Source: University of Sharjah financial aid and discount notices.

The tuition waiver and stipend depend on selection, workload, academic standing, and programme rules. They are not automatic tuition reductions.

• The high-school discount requires a 90% or higher result and graduation within two years.
• Medicine and Dentistry use a 25% first-year discount rather than the standard 50% first-semester discount.
• Teaching and research assistants work 20 hours weekly under the graduate notice.
• Spring application and award dates remain pending, so do not assume a generic deadline.

External funding is currently closed or unconfirmed for this intake cycle.

Fee Saving Strategies for Indian Students

For Spring 2026/2027, the largest confirmed saving is AED 20,745 (INR 5.39 Lakhs). This is the difference between triple and deluxe-single annual housing.

• Choose the triple room when permitted. It costs AED 5,670 annually (INR 1.47 Lakhs). A deluxe single costs AED 26,415 (INR 6.87 Lakhs).
• University of Sharjah lists student employment as a support route, but no current earnings figure is published. Treat it as supplementary cash flow.
• Section 80E of India’s Income-tax Act concerns interest on qualifying education loans. Ask a tax adviser before including any deduction in the budget.
• A 33-credit route costs AED 105,600 (INR 27.46 Lakhs). Its rate is AED 3,200 per credit (INR 83,200 per credit).
• Master in Business Administration or Engineering Management costs AED 138,600 (INR 36.04 Lakhs). The difference is AED 33,000 (INR 8.58 Lakhs).
• The 50% first-semester high-school discount can reduce tuition when the 90% result and graduation-recency conditions apply.

The room-type choice changes cash flow more than the published application fee. Confirm availability and refund terms before paying the deposit.

Is the University of Sharjah Worth the Cost for Indian Students

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science costs AED 254,960 (INR 66.29 Lakhs) at unchanged current rates. This is four-year tuition. Housing and named exclusions are separate.

The University of Sharjah value case includes a 123-credit degree and four-year duration. Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings 2027 places the university at #283 globally.

• The tuition-only total is course-specific and excludes annual housing, food, transport, insurance, and visa charges.
• The 33-credit postgraduate routes use AED 3,200 per credit (INR 83,200 per credit). They cost less than the higher-priced routes.
• Triple housing can reduce the published annual choice by AED 20,745 (INR 5.39 Lakhs). The comparison is against deluxe single housing.

The financial case is strongest with a lower-fee route, the high-school discount, or triple housing. A full decision still needs course-specific career and repayment assessment.
