What our data tells us
Original analysis from the GradsMatch database. Each piece is grounded in our verified-tuition + structured-requirements dataset, with full methodology and a way to download the underlying numbers. Citations welcome.
About the dataset
40,374
Master's programs tracked
3,272
Universities in the database
37
Countries with verified coverage
Tuition is normalized to USD using the exchange rate on the day each program was last verified, so cross-country comparisons hold up. Test requirements, GPA minimums, deadlines, and prerequisites are pulled from each program's official page. See methodology for the full collection process.
GradsMatch is built by Antoine Pangas, an independent operator with no school partnerships, affiliate revenue, or paid placements. More on the about page.
