Applying abroad is a research problem dressed up as a marketing funnel. We wanted the research part done properly, and the marketing part gone.
The first time we tried to compare universities in three countries, the hard part wasn't choosing. It was trusting anything we read. Tuition figures appeared with no year attached. Living costs came from a national average, not the city. Deadlines had quietly moved two months earlier. Half the sites ranking universities were being paid to place them.
So we started again from the record instead of the pitch. One university at a time, we read what the institution itself publishes, wrote down each figure with its source and the date, and left the field empty when nothing was published. That is slower. It is also the only version of this product worth using.
Today Masari holds 210 verified universities across 21 countries. It is not the biggest database in this category, and we're not trying to win that contest. Every record in it can be checked against its source in one click, and every record we can't stand behind isn't in it.
A fee is what the university publishes, in the currency it publishes it in, for a stated academic year. Nothing enters from a directory or a brochure.
Every figure records when we read it. A number without a date is a rumour, and rumours don't get to influence a hundred-thousand-euro decision.
If a university doesn't publish something, we show a dash and say so. We would rather look incomplete than be confidently wrong.
No university can pay to appear, rank higher, or be labelled recommended. Results are ordered by your criteria and nothing else.
One sentence, 210 universities, and numbers you can check yourself.
