International tuition
AED 68,000 per year
Students admitted effective Fall 2023 · Same rate across the institution · All students — no separate international rate
RIT Dubai prints one "Bachelor Tuition (per year)" figure covering every bachelor's degree it offers — the table lists all twelve programmes against a single AED 68,000 / USD 18,516 cell — so this is an institution-wide rate, not a price for this specific degree, and there is no separate international rate. The page labels the schedule by admission cohort ("Students admitted effective Fall 2023") rather than by academic year, and keeps a separate "Prior to Fall 2023" schedule for older cohorts, so periodLabel carries that wording verbatim. RIT Dubai warns it "may revise tuition fees based on operational costs without prior notice". Instalment plans are priced per credit hour and cost more than paying annually: AED 2,750.00 per credit hour on the annual plan, 2,846.25 on the semester plan and 2,886.67 on the monthly plan. Substantial extra charges apply: visa fee AED 5,300 (including a refundable AED 2,500 deposit), compulsory insurance AED 3,150-6,000 a year, student activity fee AED 500, and a lab fee of AED 860 per course.

Academic Scholarship
Tuition fee reduction of 5% up to 45%, set by the high-school percentage band.
Eligibility: Awarded on high school percentage: 80%-84.99% earns 5%, 85%-89.99% earns 15%, 90%-94.99% earns 25%, 95%-97.99% earns 35%, and above 98% earns 45%.
minimumPercentage records the lowest band the table publishes (80%, which earns a 5% award) — not the bar for the top 45% award. coveragePercentage is deliberately unset because the payout is a five-step band, not one stated percentage. Prospective students apply for a scholarship after being accepted; current students can apply at the end of each academic year. RIT Dubai also publishes a Dean's Scholarship Award (30%, limited places, assessed on grades in subjects relevant to the department — Maths/Physics/Chemistry for Engineering, ICT/Computer Sciences/Maths for Computing), a Corporate Scholarship of up to 35% for students associated with partner employers, need-assessed Financial Aid of up to 50%, a 5% Extracurricular Achievement Scholarship and a sibling discount.
