Universities DB is a free, independent directory that helps students and parents find and compare universities around the world. It currently lists 198 universities in 65 countries, organised by country and city, with tuition, admissions, programs, rankings and contact details in one consistent format.
Choosing a university abroad usually means opening dozens of tabs: every university website is organised differently, fees are hard to find, and it's not always clear who to contact. We bring the essentials together so you can shortlist quickly, then go straight to the university's official website or admissions team for the details.
We use AI tools to help research public information and draft listings and articles. AI output is treated as a draft: it is checked against official sources before publication, and it never decides what we recommend. We don't send students' enquiries or other personal data to AI services.
Universities DB is free for students, and basic listings are free for every university. Universities can pay for optional Premium or Featured plans that add photos, more detail and extra visibility; these listings are clearly labelled. Payment never changes the facts we publish about a university, and we don't sell students' personal data.
The enquiry form on each listing sends your question to the university's admissions team, who reply to you directly. If a university hasn't joined Universities DB yet, we hold your enquiry and pass it on when it does. See our privacy policy for details.
Universities DB is an independent website. We also run other education directories.
