§ 01 · The corpus

A single truth-source.

We index every public university dataset on earth — QS, THE, ARWU, IPEDS, government open data, and visa registries. Then we structure it for comparison. Nothing is editorialized.

§ 02 · The lens

Compare on your axis.

The default rankings tell you who's prestigious. The Pro lens tells you who fits — by tuition, climate, language, employment outcomes, visa cost, even the number of return flights to your hometown.

§ 04 · The pact

No advice. No commission.

UniCompare doesn't sell admissions consulting. We don't earn referral fees. We don't rank by who pays us. The data is the product — clean, complete, and on your side.

§ 05 — The instrument

Six tools, one decision.

§ 01 · COMPARE
Side-by-side, four-up.
Pin up to four universities. Rows align on every metric — cost, weather, language of instruction, acceptance rate. Export as PDF, share as a link.
§ 02 · LIVE TICKER
Quotes that move.
Tuition, fees, intake counts, deadline days remaining — all live. Subscribe to alerts and get notified the moment something shifts on a school you're tracking.
§ 03 · COST CALC
True landed cost.
Tuition is the easy part. The calculator layers in city cost-of-living, visa fees, health insurance, flights home, even tax on stipend income — by your home country.
§ 04 · ODDS
An honest read.
Plug in your GPA, your test scores, your work experience. The Pro model returns a percentile fit for every school you've considered — reach, target, or safety, color-coded.
§ 05 · API
For builders.
Every dataset behind the Pro UI is also exposed through a clean REST and GraphQL surface. Build your own admissions tool. Build it on the same numbers we use.
§ 06 · ARCHIVE
Eight years back.
Tuition history, ranking shifts, acceptance trends — every metric on every school back to 2018. Spot what's rising, what's falling, what's stable, and what's noise.
§ 06 — Coverage

The numbers behind the lens.

Every figure is sourced from official rankings, government data, or university filings — never crowd-scraped. Refreshed daily on business days. Cited inline on every comparison.

How a session runs.

01QUERY

State what you want.

"Master's in mechanical engineering, English-taught, total cost under $40k/yr, climate temperate, English-speaking weekends preferred." Pro parses the brief.

02FILTER

14,820 → 148.

The corpus narrows to viable candidates in under a second. Each retained school carries its match reasons — which of your constraints it satisfies, which it bends.

03RANK

Your axis, your weights.

Default rank is by best-fit. Drag the weight sliders to re-rank by cost, climate, employment outcome, or any combination. The list refreshes in place.

04SHORTLIST

Pin a shortlist.

Drag your favorites into a compare board (up to 12). Every shortlist lives forever, syncs across devices, and exports as a tidy PDF for advisors or family.

05TRACK

Wake on change.

Pinned school raises tuition? Adds an English-taught track? Drops a visa requirement? Pro pings you the same business day, with the diff and the citation.

From the editorial

We built UniCompare Pro because the world of university rankings is noisy, commercial, and often wrong. The tool is the corrective.
