**Public university tuition**
University of Bahrain: tuition for non-Bahraini bachelor's and associate-diploma students is BD 80 per credit hour for all semesters (Bahrainis BD 8), fixed for the whole study period; non-Bahrainis are not eligible for government support. Published whole-programme tuition for non-Bahrainis runs from BD 5,200 (associate degrees, 65 credits) to BD 13,360 (Architecture, 167 credits); common 4-year bachelor's programmes are BD 9,760-11,200. Postgraduate: BD 84 (diploma), BD 140 (master's), BD 160 (PhD) per credit hour. Annual range below is derived as programme total divided by the 8-semester standard duration.Source
**Private university tuition**
Private institutions set their own fees. Published examples (non-Bahraini): Applied Science University BD 92.7 per credit hour (about BD 2,781 per year for a business-type bachelor) up to BD 160-180 per credit hour for Law and Architectural Engineering (BD 5,760-6,480 per year after year 1); University of Technology Bahrain BD 75 per credit unit (undergraduate) plus term fees; Ahlia University BD 15,480 tuition for the general 4-year bachelor fee table and BD 18,530-20,480 all-in for health bachelors; RCSI Bahrain USD 49,400 per year for medicine (approx. BD 18,600), USD 15,100 for nursing, USD 16,300 for the Medical Commencement Programme (2026/27).Source
**Monthly living cost**
No national or government living-cost estimate for international students was found. The only published figures found are RCSI Bahrain's Halls of Residence rents: BD 550 per month per apartment, split as BD 295 per ensuite room or BD 255 per standard room per month (inclusive of wifi, electricity, water, security and weekly housekeeping), for a 10-month tenancy September-June, plus a one-month refundable deposit. This is rent only, not total living cost.Source
### Accommodation University-managed housing: RCSI Bahrain Halls of Residence (first-year apartments, BD 255-295 per room per month, 10 months, full-year rent payable in advance, one-month refundable deposit). Other universities (Applied Science University, Ahlia, UTB) offer visa and accommodation guidance but no verified price lists. Private rental needs a lease and a municipality proof-of-address letter for the Smart Card. When planning the total budget, separate one-off and monthly items. [Budget planning guide](https://armaneducation.com/en/guides/budget-planning) ## What to watch for in Costs - Calculate tuition, living costs and insurance/visa costs separately. - Verify fees on the university's own page; programmes can differ greatly. - Add a margin each year for currency and exchange-rate risk. - Research scholarship and discount options before applying. Information on this page is compiled from official sources and was verified on the date shown. Fees, dates and visa rules change often; check official sources before applying.
