The product

Study Chapter lets someone explore destinations before a country is chosen for them. After that, the same product holds services, applications, lessons, a year-one cost calculator, and student discounts.

Where to look

A shortlist across popular study destinations, based on subject, budget, and what matters, with official starting points rather than a ranking.

What the first year costs

A cost calculator for living, net tuition, and the first-month setup bill, so the number is more than rent.

After the offer

Lessons, application steps, and a board of student discounts people can check on the official page before they pay.

How I worked

  1. Started with discovery: compare destinations before locking a country.
  2. Added the tools people need once a direction exists: applications, lessons, and a cost calculator.
  3. Kept discounts and guides labeled as research aids, and pointed each offer back to its official page.

Challenges

Do not choose for them

A matcher that picks a country feels like an admissions decision. The product had to shortlist and then get out of the way.

Money is more than tuition

Students undercount the first month. The calculator had to show living, net tuition, and setup, and still say those numbers are baselines.

Discounts go stale

Student offers change and some are scams. Each card had to send people to the official page instead of a code from a stranger.
