Ok, I will try and give you a rough guide, it may be a little bit expensive but I do not believe in living in squalour. 
Bur Dubai:  
Studio Apartment: circa dhs.40-45,000 per year (will include pool, gym, security and undercover parking 
1 Bedroom Apartment: circa dhs.50-55,000 per year (ditto) 
2 bedroom Apartment: circa dhs.60-65,000 per year (ditto) 
None of these will be furnished although there might be one or two kitchen appliances included. 
Bur Deira: (Bur Dubai?)
As above but maybe 10-15% cheaper. 
Serviced Apartments (Studios) are not a bad way to start off if you have nowhere to stay, but could set you back dhs.5-6,500 per month. 
If I was you, i would try and find someone to share with. if you can do that, then the best thing to do would be to rent a Villa. 3 bed villas can be rented for around 60-65,000 per year. 
Prices in Dubai for rented accommodation is going up monthly. 
Going to live in Sharja is cheaper, but one hell of a traffic jam to get into Dubai. 
To furnish your apartment you will need circa dhs25-30,000 (thats everything, except those womanly touches) 
Hope this has helped, and if you find something cheaper, please let me know!    
Disclosure: I do not work in the Renting business nor do i work for a letting Agent. I have been looking for 3 months!
