Transparency – How We Work

Honest information and independence are especially important to us. That is why we are transparent about how fernstudi.net works, how we create content and how our platform is funded.

We are not an education provider but an independent comparison and information portal. fernstudi.net is not affiliated with fernstudium.com, fernstudium-direkt.de or any of the education providers listed on the platform. Our content is based on thorough research, authentic reviews and expert knowledge – not on advertising or sponsored posts.

All reviews and ratings come from real students and graduates. We regularly verify the authenticity of contributions and moderate discussions to ensure a fair and open platform. All reviews must comply with our review guidelines.

Our platform is 100% free for you. We fund ourselves through:

• Affiliate Programs & Lead Generation – When you submit a contact request or request information about a program through our platform, your inquiry is forwarded to the respective education provider. In some cases, we receive a commission for this. However, this does not influence our ratings or recommendations.
• Premium Profiles for Providers – Universities and education providers can book enhanced profiles for a fee to present themselves in more detail. However, the order of courses on our comparison pages remains independent of these partnerships. In the course finder, we sort premium profiles at the top, but you can change the sorting at any time.
• Advertising – In some areas of our website, advertising may appear, but it is always clearly labeled as such.

Our goal is to provide a fair and transparent platform for all users. No provider can buy a better rating or a preferred placement in our listings. All information on fernstudi.net is based on neutral research, genuine user opinions and expert knowledge.

This way, you benefit from fast, reliable study counseling – whether in our community, Q&A sections or via direct message.
• Content Optimization: Our editorial team uses AI to structure our articles so we can focus on expert-level content. AI helps us analyze topics, identify gaps, improve spelling and optimize texts to make them even more informative and relevant for you.
