Every tuition figure, deadline and entry requirement on this site says where it came from and whether anyone has checked it. Here is how that works — and where the catalogue stands today.
A factual field is never displayed without provenance. Each value is stored with a source URL, a source type, the date it was retrieved, the date it was last verified and an extraction confidence score. The interface shows you the verification date and links to the source right next to the number.
Where a value has not been checked, the interface says “sample data — not verified” beside it rather than presenting it as a fact.
Aggregator sites and course-listing marketplaces are not accepted as sources, because they are themselves uncited copies.
Tuition is always shown in the currency the university actually charges — a student at a British university pays pounds, and converting that for display would misstate what they owe. A separate normalised euro-per-year figure exists purely so that filtering and “lowest tuition” sorting can compare like with like.
Extracted changes do not go live automatically. They enter a review queue, and a value only reaches the public site once a human has approved it. Sources that have not been re-verified recently, or whose extraction confidence is low, are surfaced for re-checking.
Universities change fees and deadlines without notice, and a verification date tells you when we last looked — not that nothing has changed since. Follow the source link on any figure you are about to make a decision on.
The catalogue holds 12 destinations, 44 universities and 67 programs. 0 of those programs currently have tuition and deadlines verified against an official source.
Everything else is sample data, and is labelled as sample data wherever it appears. Pages built on sample data are kept out of search engines — they are useful to someone who can see the label, and misleading in a search snippet that leaves it out. As figures are verified, the pages that depend on them become indexable on their own.
