As a public university, The Maldives National University (MNU) is committed to making higher education accessible and affordable for Maldivians. We strive to keep our course fees as low as possible, helping students pursue their educational ambitions while minimising financial barriers.
For MNU, affordable education is more than a policy. It is a commitment to our people and our nation. By creating opportunities for students across the Maldives to gain knowledge, develop skills and realise their potential, we contribute to building a skilled workforce and advancing the social and economic development of our country.
At MNU, affordable education is an investment in our people and the future of the Maldives.


Through the Government’s First Degree Scheme, eligible Maldivian students can pursue their first undergraduate degree at The Maldives National University without paying tuition fees for courses covered by the scheme.
The scheme is based on MNU’s approved course fee structure, enabling eligible students to complete their covered studies without additional out-of-pocket tuition costs. This partnership between the Government and MNU helps reduce the financial barriers to higher education, allowing students to focus on their learning, achieve their ambitions and prepare for their future careers.
At MNU, we believe that investing in education means investing in our people and our nation. By expanding access to higher education, we are empowering future graduates, strengthening the national workforce and contributing to the long-term development of the Maldives.
We understand that financial circumstances can change during your studies. To help students manage financial difficulties without disrupting their education, MNU offers flexible instalment arrangements for eligible students.
