College tuition per year in the United Arab Emirates will be an estimated $10,200 or more for a single academic year. However, the United Arab Emirates is one of the most expensive places to live in.

For some programs, they may cost around $20,200 USD per academic year. Students will need to ask about the program and what the tuition cost will come out to for a set of 2-years. This will help the student to better budget what they can afford and what they cannot.

What can students expect from scholarships in Sri Lanka? What are the primary exams needed and what is the eligibility general requirements for international students. We will cover this topic based on what is available. Most of Sri Lanka’s scholarships come from the country’s government or the universities themselves. We will look at what Sri Lanka has available for both domestic and international students when it comes to discounts, tuition fee waivers, bursaries, funding, and scholarships.

Sri Lanka has some top performing national university’s that have a highly competitive acceptance process. This process will be judged by admissions and a panel committee that will test to see which student is excelling in their grades/scores and shows that they intend to achieve a high-end career.

Different scholarships to look into:

  • Course Fee for Foreign Students
  • World Bank Scholarship
  • Asian Development Bank Scholarship
  • European Union Scholarships
  • The Association of the Commonweath Universities Scholarships
  • Rs. 100,000 Early Bird Discount – Undergraduate – ESOFT College of Engineering & Technology
  • Pearson BTEC HND in Applied Sciences 50% Off of Tuition
  • Cyber Security Scholarships
  • Network Security Scholarships
  • Network Engineering Program with Guaranteed Job Placement – Work study
  • ABE Level 5 Diploma in Business Management Scholarship Program
  • Scholarships for Study in Germany – German Language
  • ICCR Ayush Scholarship Program
  • GREAT Scholarships – Sri Lanka citizens can study in the United Kingdom from a number of different univerities

The scholarship programs above both reflect study in Sri Lanka and study for Sri Lanka students that which to study in a different country.

What can international students expect from a higher education institution in Sri Lanka?

 When it comes to literacy rates between men and women, both are above the 90% statistic which is incredible considering that this provides an extreme personal look into what a country has to offer as far as college education.

Most colleges or even vocational institutions in Sri Lanka will need students to pass an English proficiency exam to see where they are at within the English language.

While students can receive a degree from a public or private college, in some instances, private companies can also issue to their employees a degree or diploma depending on their career skill.

Native Sri Lanka residents will find that they can enter as an undergraduate for free, but the actual admissions stage is incredibly competitive. This competitiveness has increased over time from international students that have been sending in admissions applications from around the world. As well as, the increase in populations status in the last couple of years.

Students should understand what it takes to be considered admitted or accepted into a Sri Lanka university. For example, most if not all colleges in the country go on a student’s Z rank. A Z score which are given to students from the GCE Advanced Level. This means that mostly high achieving academic students will be primary picks no matter what.

While Sri Lanka is slowly climbing the economic growth social ladder, some undergraduates may face unemployment in Sri Lanka. However, this is changes for the better.

Student Cost of Living

The national average for single students renting an a one-bedroom apartment averages out to $700-$1,700 USD per month. Obviously with the higher end being a couple hundred U.S. dollars more is in reference to how that student lives within a budget.

That $700 includes rent, utilities food, clothing, transportation fees, and necessities that are needed daily.

Students will need to form a budget that works best for these finances, this may include a higher tuition but a lower living rent. Or a higher rent cost the is located closer to a low tuition public university.

Cost of Tuition

Public institutions are branded as “almost free” because it does cost very little to receive a degree. International students will be happy to know that they can spend as little as $700 per year for a degree. And that is any degree from undergraduate to postgraduate.

However, at a private international university located in the country students will easily spend up to $25,000 USD per academic year working towards their degree.

So, earning a degree here very much depends on which university a student decides to attend. A student will pay less to attend a public university that will most likely ask the student if they can read, write, and speak Turkish. Whereas at an international university the student will be taught in English.

Languages Spoken in Turkey

What is the main language in Turkey? Turkish is the official language in the country, when there are well over 70 other dialects located throughout the region.

Other languages spoken in Turkey include Kurdish, Arabic, Greek, Ladino, and Armenian.

International students would do far better studying in Turkey when they are readily studying the Turkish language. Not only is this a sign of respect to the culture where the student will be studying, but this will allow the individual to navigate the terrain a lot easier.
