Cost of Living

Indicative monthly estimates published by Glamis Business School:

Shared accommodation: Approximately US$200–300 per month
Food: Approximately US$400 per month

These figures are indicative only. Actual living costs depend on accommodation choice, location and individual lifestyle.

The MUR 240,000 accommodation/living package in the World Talentz course fee structure is a partner package. It should not automatically be equated with these general monthly estimates.

International Student Support

Visa & Residence Guidance

Our partner institutions provide administrative support to international students from admission through arrival and study in Mauritius. Glamis Business School and Noble Arc Business School provide the same support arrangements for World Talentz students.

Guidance during the study period

World Talentz remains involved throughout the admissions journey and works alongside the partner institution to help students understand each stage from application through arrival and residence formalities.

Accommodation

Accommodation Support

Accommodation assistance is available through the partner institutions.

Current accommodation/living package: MUR 240,000 — inclusions to be confirmed.

Full package details will be provided before enrolment. Confirm the inclusions with World Talentz and your allocated partner institution before making accommodation arrangements.

Proof of Funds

International students must provide evidence of sufficient funds for their study and stay in Mauritius. Current student residence-permit guidance requires certified bank statements or an attestation showing a closing balance equivalent to at least MUR 150,000.

If the student is not self-funded, the application should include a sponsorship letter together with proof of identity of the sponsor. A parent or other eligible sponsor may therefore provide the financial evidence where applicable.

The MUR 150,000 figure is a minimum immigration proof-of-funds requirement. It is not the student's total study, accommodation or living budget.

Providing evidence of MUR 150,000 does not guarantee approval of a student entry or residence permit.
