List of Universities is an independent online directory that helps students, parents and advisers find and compare universities, colleges and schools around the world, in one place and free of charge.
What you will find here
Institution profiles with location, type, official website, programs, campuses and, where published, fees, deadlines, accreditation and rankings.
Country, city and subject pages to browse institutions and programs.
A compare tool to see up to three institutions side by side.
Guides and articles about choosing a university, scholarships, applications and student visas.
Where our information comes from
Profiles are built from open and official sources such as the Research Organization Registry (ROR), national government education registers and datasets, the CWTS Leiden Ranking and institutions' own official websites. Every source and its licence is listed on our Data Sources page, and profiles show when their information was last checked.
What we never do
We do not invent tuition fees, deadlines, admission requirements, rankings or accreditations. When a source does not provide a value, we leave it out rather than guess. Coverage differs between countries because the availability of open data differs between countries.
Independence and advertising
List of Universities is not affiliated with any university, college, school, government or ranking organisation. The website is funded by advertising. Ads are shown by third parties such as Google and never influence which institutions are listed or how they are presented. Listings and rankings are not for sale, and any sponsored content will always be clearly labelled.
Corrections
If you represent an institution or notice an error, please contact us with a link to the page and an official source. Corrections backed by official sources are prioritised. Read more in our Editorial Policy.
