**Public university tuition**
Federal public universities: MoHESR describes the three Study in Iraq tracks (full scholarship, 50% half-funded, self-funded full tuition) but publishes no tuition amounts; University of Baghdad says tuition for half-funded and self-funded students is set in Iraqi dinars or USD equivalent and paid annually (amount not on page). Kurdistan Region: the KRG Ministry of Higher Education overview states education is free with no tuition fees, but its scope for foreign students is not stated, and a Salahaddin University-Erbil postgraduate FAQ (undated, not fetched directly) reportedly charges foreign students fees (MA about 5,000,000 IQD for the whole programme per search snippet). Conflict unresolved.Source
**Private university tuition**
AUIS (private, Sulaimani): undergraduate annual tuition table in IQD; headline baseline 10,950,000 IQD per year with lower scholarship-adjusted rates depending on baccalaureate score (for example 4,500,000 IQD international rate in the top score band); the page's table lost column alignment on extraction, so the other bands could not be assigned reliably. Al-Hadba University (private, Mosul) states tuition varies by programme and reductions of 30-50% may be offered to students from low-income countries; amounts not published.Source
**Monthly living cost**
Indicative only, from one public university (Basrah University of Oil and Gas) Study in Iraq page: university housing free or at a nominal subsidised fee; living and food about 150-250 USD per month; transport about 30-50 USD per month. No national or Kurdistan official cost-of-living figure found.Source
### Accommodation University housing is free or at a nominal subsidised fee at at least one public university (Basrah University of Oil and Gas); full Study in Iraq scholarships include university housing. KRG MHE: places in the limited residence halls are selected about six months before the semester. 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.
