Each data entry comes from an identifiable public source (government agency, institution, official body) and carries a last verification date. Tuition fees distinguish, where relevant, national/EU rates, international rates, and private institution rates. Living costs (housing, food, transport) are averages observed by city. Conversion rates displayed for comparison do not replace a real-time exchange rate. Indicative conversion rates as of 2026-08-01, for comparison purposes only.
