Our ethics charter
StudyRoute helps you choose a realistic route to study abroad. These are the rules we hold ourselves to — and that you can hold us to.
Impartial advice — fit before commission
We recommend the route that fits you, not the one that pays us most. Our quiz includes universities we have no agreement with. Which university and country to aim for is decided by fit, budget and visa realism — never by who pays a commission.
No preferential conditions
Going through us gives you no different terms, deadlines or information than applying to the university directly. We don't promise places, discounts or visa outcomes that the university itself wouldn't give you.
We don't hold your money
We never receive or hold your tuition, deposits or blocked-account (Sperrkonto) funds, and we never pay fees on your behalf. Any payment to StudyRoute is only for our own analysis or consultation services — never money you owe a university or a government.
The decision is always yours
We inform; we don't decide for you. We give you a target plus realistic backups and explain the trade-offs and risks, so the final choice stays in your hands.
