Compare universities for a degree

Tuition, entry requirements, deadlines, rankings and graduate jobs for each program, side by side.

  • You start it: When you start it

What it does

The task

Find the degree programs at these universities: universities. On each official program page, find the yearly tuition for student status students, the entry requirements, the language test scores, the application deadline, the length and the start dates. Add the subject ranking from one ranking site, and the graduate employment rate when the university publishes it. Put the data in a new Google Sheet, one row for each program, with the link to each page. Mark each value that you could not find on an official page.

  • It works in any website and Google Sheets, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.
