Editorial Policy
How we collect information, score institutes and keep listings fair.
Sources
Details come from information institutes publish themselves, such as websites and fee cards, and from public listings. Where a detail cannot be confirmed we leave it out or mark it as not listed.
Scoring
Scores use four published facts: batch size (40 points), fee disclosure (25), contact and address completeness (20) and programme breadth (15). The same rules apply to every institute. See the methodology page for details.
Commercial relationships
Any commercial relationship, including partnerships, does not change an institute's score or its position in a list. Positions follow the formula and nothing else.
Independence of writing
Descriptions are written by our editors from the listed facts. We do not copy institute marketing text.
Updates
Listings are reviewed periodically and when an institute or reader reports a change. See our correction policy for how fixes are made and recorded.
