The Complete Guide
Studying in 🇲🇺 Mauritius
Mauritius is an unusually comfortable overseas destination for Indian students — an island nation in the Indian Ocean with deep historical, cultural and family ties to India. A large share of its population is of Indian origin, English is widely used in education and business, and the lifestyle, food and festivals feel familiar. Combined with low tuition and living costs — a full Master's typically runs ₹15–32 Lakhs all-in — Mauritius offers an affordable, low-stress route to an internationally recognised degree.
The academic landscape includes the public University of Mauritius and University of Technology Mauritius, alongside a striking number of international branch campuses — Middlesex University, Curtin University and Aberystwyth among them — that award UK and Australian degrees on the island. Indian institutions such as Amity and JSS also operate campuses there. For Indian lenders, recognised Mauritian institutions are straightforward to fund, and because loan tickets are small, almost every loan is fully unsecured. Bank of Baroda's own long presence in Mauritius can make documentation and disbursement particularly smooth for this destination.
This guide covers everything an Indian student needs: which lender suits your profile, exact cost breakdowns by program, the Mauritius student-visa and financial-proof requirements, top universities and branch campuses, sample EMIs, and the scholarships and government schemes you can stack — including opportunities arising from the strong India–Mauritius relationship. FundMyCampus has helped Indian students structure low-ticket overseas loans efficiently — and for Mauritius, the recurring insight is to keep the loan small (which the destination makes easy), verify branch-campus accreditation, and tap the India-linked scholarships often available there.
