Fewer dead ends. Clearer numbers. One record that holds.

Three things we try to get right

1. Say what is actually available

Study-abroad catalogues compete on headline numbers, and the numbers are usually hollow: thousands of institution pages with a name, an address and nothing to apply to. We list 1,005 institutions across 14 countries, and 8 of them have published programmes. We show you both figures rather than the flattering one, and we keep programme-less profiles out of search results until they have something to offer.

2. Make the money legible

Tuition is published in the currency the institution invoices in. Where we show a converted figure for comparison, it is labelled as approximate and stamped with the date of the rate. Invoices name who is charging you. When an adviser may earn a commission on your enrolment, you are told at the point of applying.

3. Keep the record together

An application is a document request, an answer, an invoice, a decision and six weeks of silence in between. Email pulls those apart. The portal keeps them on one record, so you and the admissions team are looking at the same thing.

How we make money

Students pay us nothing. We are funded by participating institutions, partner agencies and advertising that is always labelled as advertising. Three rules follow from that, and we hold to them:

• Payment never buys a verification badge.
• Paid placement is always labelled “Sponsored”.
• A sponsored result is never presented as an academic recommendation.

What “verified” is not

Verification is an identity and authority check: the institution exists as it claims to, and the person maintaining the profile is authorised to act for it. It is not accreditation, not a ranking endorsement, not government recognition, and not a guarantee of admission. Those are different questions, and you should ask them of the institution and of the recognition body in the country where you intend to work.

What we will not publish

• Claims about an institution we cannot check against a public source.
• Invented testimonials or reviews.
• Rankings we have not produced and cannot explain.
• Any statement that implies an admission or visa outcome.
