Coverage levels

Each country is given a level based on its number of programmes: substantial from 100, partial from 10 to 99, minimal below 10. A country at minimal level is included in the dataset but should not be described as covered.

Methodology

  • Scope: countries with at least one programme from an official source or published by a registered institution. Automatically generated entries and generic profiles are excluded.
  • Institutions: counted per country from the institutions directory, independently of programmes. A country may therefore list many institutions and few programmes. The column totals 123,470; the overall figure of 126,661 also includes institutions outside these countries or without a usable country.
  • Detailed study paths: countries where study paths lead from careers down to programmes and institutions.
  • Careers: the 1,617 career profiles are published for every territory covered, so this figure is not repeated per country.
