# StudyPath — university-level tuition and cost coverage

One row per university: 781 institutions across 89 countries,
summarising 7,831 undergraduate courses.
Sources last read: 2026-09-13.

## What this is

A coverage-level extract of the dataset behind https://studypath.cc — a free,
no-sign-up site listing undergraduate tuition, scholarships, entry requirements
and deadlines for international students.

Every figure on that site is read from the university's own published page and
stored with the sentence it came from, the URL, and the date it was read. This
extract carries the URL and the date for each university's cheapest figure so
any row can be checked without trusting this project.

This is a SUMMARY, not the full dataset. The per-course records — each with its
own quote, archived snapshot and audience band (international / domestic /
EU-EEA) — live on the site, which is always the current version.

## The rule the underlying data follows

A figure is either sourced or it is marked missing. Nothing is estimated to
fill a gap. Where a university publishes only a per-credit rate and no
full-time credit load, no yearly figure is produced at all rather than a
plausible one being invented — which is why some rows have an empty
`cheapest_annual_international_usd`. That emptiness is the finding.

## Columns

| column | meaning |
|---|---|
| `university_id` | stable id, also the URL slug on studypath.cc |
| `courses_listed` | undergraduate courses recorded for this university |
| `courses_with_verified_fee` | of those, how many carry a sourced tuition figure |
| `courses_with_no_tuition_fee` | of those, how many are published at zero (723 in total) |
| `cheapest_annual_international_usd` | cheapest course, annualised and converted to USD. Empty where no course can be placed on a yearly scale |
| `cheapest_figure_is_derived` | true when the annual figure was computed (from a per-term or whole-course fee) rather than published as a year |
| `accommodation_from` / `_currency` / `_period` | the university's own published housing figure, in its own period wording, unconverted |
| `fee_source_url` | the university page the cheapest figure was read from |
| `fee_source_read_on` | the date it was read |

Currency conversion uses a single dated rate table; converted figures are
indicative and the published figure in its own currency is authoritative.
