Why Mauritius.
Mauritius is a stable, English-medium island hub for higher education, hosting branch campuses of UK and Australian universities — Middlesex and Curtin among them — alongside the national University of Mauritius. Affordable, safe, multicultural and bilingual in English and French, it's a tropical base to earn a globally-recognised degree at a fraction of the overseas cost.

What it really
costs.
Mauritius offers globally-recognised degrees at a fraction of the overseas cost, with low living expenses. Use this as a planning guide (figures in USD).
* Branch-campus degrees from Middlesex or Curtin cost more than the national university — still well below studying in the UK or Australia directly.
Cost of living
Port Louis is the priciest and still affordable; inland Moka and central Quatre Bornes are cheaper. Low rents, local food and cheap transport keep monthly budgets modest.

Stay & onward study
A UK/Australian-partner degree travels well for work or further study abroad after graduation.
Tuition is roughly $3,000–8,000/year depending on the programme and partner university; living is about $450–800/month — far below studying in the UK or Australia directly.
Branch campuses such as Middlesex and Curtin award the parent university's globally-recognised UK or Australian degree; the University of Mauritius is nationally recognised.
No — programmes are taught in English. French and Mauritian Creole are widely spoken and help with daily life, but aren't required to study.
Mauritius is one of Africa's safest and most stable countries, with a warm, multicultural society and a relaxed island pace.
A growing financial-services, IT and tourism sector offers opportunities; a UK/Australian-partner degree also travels well abroad.
