Graduate Schools
Universities with master's programs in the catalog, indexed the same way so you can compare them honestly. Location, size, acceptance rate, international student share, and the programs they actually offer are all in one place.

What we index for each school
Every school listed here has at least one master's program in the catalog. We pull basic facts from the official university site: city and country, type (public or private), campus setting, student body size, and student-to-staff ratio. Where Times Higher Education publishes a world ranking we show it, and we note the share of international students so you can tell the difference between a school with three international students and one with three thousand.
Reading acceptance rate without being fooled
Acceptance rate at the school level is a weak signal for graduate admissions. A 6% undergraduate acceptance rate does not mean the master's in X is 6% to get into; some graduate programs at the same school admit more than half of applicants, and a few admit fewer than 10%. Use the number as a rough filter for how selective the institution is overall, then click into a specific program for the requirements that actually decide whether you get in.
Ranking is one lens, not the whole picture
The sort by rank uses Times Higher Education's 2024 World University Rankings. It's a fine starting point for "how is this school perceived globally," but it weights research output heavily and barely factors in teaching quality or career outcomes. A program at rank 120 can be the strongest in its field. If you care about placement, look at the program page, not just the school header.
