Methodology: How We Compare MBA Programmes
Data sources
- Fees are taken only from the provider's own published fee page, quoted in the provider's currency, with the access date and a link.
- Where we have not verified a figure, we mark it pending rather than estimate.
- Visa and work-rights information points to government sites, because rules change frequently.
Neutrality
- Programmes appear in comparison tables, not in promotional single-school pages.
- Ordering is not a ranking. We do not republish third-party rankings.
- No payment influences inclusion or wording.
Calculators
The cost calculator adds tuition, monthly living cost × months, visa/insurance, travel and other costs that you enter. The ROI calculator adds your fees to income forgone (current salary × months out of work ÷ 12) and divides by the expected annual salary increase to give a simple, pre-tax payback period. Neither calculator stores your inputs.
Updates and corrections
Each page shows a review date. Fees are rechecked before each major intake. To report an error, use the contact form with a link to the source.
