Compare up to four European university options using current figures you have verified yourself. The tool now prioritises data and academic-fit confidence before cost, then compares first-year and full-programme financial exposure.
Why this comparison is stronger than tuition alone
A university with lower tuition can still be more expensive after housing, living costs, application charges or deposits are added. A moderate-tuition university can become cheaper if you already have a confirmed scholarship or waiver.
How the ranking now works
The tool no longer treats the cheapest entered figure as automatically best. It first checks whether the fee/living figures, accreditation or recognition, and teaching-language/programme fit have been verified. Options with unresolved evidence are downgraded before first-year net cost is used to order otherwise comparable choices. It still does not predict admission, visa approval, graduate outcomes or career value.
Where to verify each figure
Use the university’s official programme/fees page, official national study portal where appropriate, and current scholarship documentation. Make sure the fee applies to your nationality or residence category and the academic year you plan to enter.
