What it is not

The AI Shortlist is a starting point — a strong one, built on genuine data. It is not a consultation.

The algorithm knows your grades, your nationality, your budget, and your preferences. It does not know how you performed relative to your cohort. It does not know the specific entry requirement nuances for students from your country at each university. It does not know your family situation, your resilience, your specific career ambitions, or the dozen other factors a human advisor considers in a 60-minute session.

We say this not to sell you a consultation — but because we would rather you understand what you are buying than feel misled after receiving it.

If your situation is straightforward — standard qualifications, clear preferences, no unusual circumstances — the AI Shortlist alone may be everything you need. If your situation is more complex, the shortlist is an excellent foundation for a consultation that goes deeper.

The data behind the match

The AI Shortlist is only as good as the data it draws on. Here is what it uses.

114 university evaluations

Every university has been assessed across eight categories — degree recognition, cost, admission accessibility, academic quality, career outcomes, language, location, and student support. Scores are built from WHO listings, EU Directive records, QS rankings, GMC data, ECFMG records, Numbeo indices.

Recognition matching by nationality

The algorithm knows which degrees are recognised in which countries — and matches this against your specific nationality and target practice country. A student from Nigeria wanting to practice in the UK receives different weighting than a student from France wanting to practice in Germany.

Cost weighting by budget

Universities outside your stated budget are deprioritised — not excluded, but ranked lower. The report shows you the cost of every recommended university clearly so you can make an informed decision about whether to stretch.

Entrance exam filtering by preference

If you prefer universities without entrance exams, those requiring written exams are deprioritised. Your preference is reflected in the ranking — not used as a hard filter that removes options you might want to consider.

The student exploring options

You are not yet in crisis. You are thinking ahead. You want to understand what European medical school would look like for your profile before committing to anything. €49 is a low-cost way to find out.
