Paying school fees safely
Students and sponsors pay tuition and official school fees directly to the institution whenever possible. Travel Ease Education does not replace the university's official invoice or payment instructions. Where a family cannot access international transfer services, we may assist with foreign-currency payment facilitation using verified school payment instructions.
Final school fees must be confirmed from the official university invoice or fee page.
Finding recognised universities in Mauritius
We are still adding individual Mauritius university profiles to our directory. Until then, here is how to research and verify institutions safely so you choose with open eyes.
Check official accreditation
Confirm the institution is recognised by Mauritius's ministry of education or accreditation body — not just a private agent's list.
Verify recognition at home
If you plan to return or practise a regulated profession, check the degree is recognised by the relevant body in your home country.
Compare on official sites
Confirm programmes, tuition, intakes and entry requirements on each university's own website — figures change every year.
Avoid 'guaranteed admission'
No legitimate university or agent can guarantee admission, a visa or a scholarship. Treat such promises as a warning sign.
