Fees are the rates published in Ajman University's Graduate and Undergraduate Programs Fees Brochure and its Fee Booklet, both for the academic year 2026/2027. Most programmes are priced per credit hour, so the stored figure is the published rate multiplied by the programme's published credit count. Tuition is zero-rated for VAT. Residence fees are quoted separately and DO include VAT.
