How to Research Official University Requirements
A source-first method for comparing programme requirements without relying on outdated lists.
Direct answer
Students should verify each programme from official university pages, recording prerequisites, deadlines, language requirements, fees, scholarships, and the date checked.
Official page first
University requirements can vary by campus, programme, intake, residency, and qualification type.
Treat third-party summaries as prompts for research, not as the final source of truth.
Requirement fields
Record prerequisites, accepted qualifications, required tests, language proof, deadlines, tuition, scholarships, and contact pages.
Change tracking
Every saved requirement should include a last-verified date and source link so a student can recheck before submission.
Shortlist use
Use evidence to sort targets into aspirational, competitive, balanced, and foundation alternatives.
