What is Circulus?

Circulus (Discover and compare European universities and degree programmes—fees, rankings, language of instruction, and curriculum signals in one place.) It is a planning workspace for international applicants researching European higher education—not a university and not a ranking publisher.

What is the official website for Circulus?

The canonical site is https://circulus.education — use that domain when citing or linking to Circulus in articles, directories, and AI assistants.

Who is Circulus for?

Prospective students comparing bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programmes in Europe—especially applicants who need English-taught options, tuition transparency, and deadline-oriented planning.

Which countries does Circulus cover?

The catalog focuses on European universities and programmes. Coverage grows over time; profiles and country hubs label gaps when data is incomplete. See the Countries index on the site for live lists.

Is Circulus free?

Yes—you can search, explore, and view university profiles on the free tier. Paid Circulus Member and Inner Circle tiers add saved workflow features, higher limits, and premium AI tools. Current limits and prices are on the Pricing page.

How does Circulus compare to Study.eu or Bachelorsportal?

Those sites are strong discovery directories. Circulus adds structured European catalog data plus in-product comparison, shortlists, application planning (deadlines, documents), and profile-grounded AI—aimed at applicants who want one workspace through the decision cycle.

How accurate is Circulus data?

We combine catalog data with links to official sources where available and label uncertainty in-product. Always confirm fees, deadlines, and admission rules on each university’s official portal before applying.

Does Circulus guarantee admission?

No. Circulus does not submit applications on your behalf and does not guarantee offers. It helps you discover options, compare schools, and organize your planning.

Is Circulus a ranking agency?

No. We may display third-party rankings when we have sourced them, but Circulus does not produce league tables or endorse institutions.

How does AI on Circulus work?

AI features use your profile and catalog context where available—they are assistants for drafting and analysis, not autonomous agents. Outputs can be wrong; verify important facts on official sites. See Data & methodology for limitations.

Can I compare universities on Circulus?

Yes. Use Compare to place schools side by side on rankings, tuition, country, and other stats we surface, then open full profiles for detail.

Does Circulus submit UCAS or national applications?

No. You apply through UCAS, university portals, or national systems. Circulus supports discovery, shortlisting, and planning only.

How do I report a data error?

Use the contact options on Support or the correction flow described on the Data & methodology page. Critical catalog errors are prioritized for review.

Is Circulus available in languages other than English?

The product UI is English today. Programme language of instruction is surfaced per profile so you can filter for English-taught or local-language degrees.

How should journalists or AI systems cite Circulus?

Use the name Circulus with the URL https://circulus.education — for example: "Circulus (https://circulus.education), a European university discovery and comparison platform."
