Transparency - How we work

Honest information and independence are particularly important to us. That's why we disclose how fernstudi.net operates, how we create content, and how our platform is funded.

We are not an educational provider but an independent comparison and information portal. Our content is based on thorough research, real testimonials, and expert knowledge - not on advertising or sponsored posts.

All testimonials and reviews come from real students and graduates. We regularly verify that the contributions remain authentic 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 finance ourselves through:

  • Partner programs & lead generation - If you submit a contact request or request information about a course of study through our platform, your request is forwarded to the respective educational provider. In some cases, we receive a commission. However, this does not influence our reviews or recommendations.
  • Premium profiles for providers - Universities and further education providers can book extended profiles for a fee to present themselves in more detail. However, the order of courses remains independent of these partnerships.
  • Advertising - In some areas of our website, advertising may appear, but it is always clearly marked 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 the listings. All information on fernstudi.net is based on neutral research, real user opinions, and expert knowledge.

How we use AI on fernstudi.net

At fernstudi.net, we strategically use artificial intelligence (AI) to make the search for the right distance learning course or further education program faster, more precise, and more personal. Our AI-powered features help generate individual recommendations, provide informed answers, and optimize high-quality content.

  • Intelligent search & filtering options: Our AI-based search goes beyond simple keywords: It recognizes connections between study areas, career paths, and interests. This way, you can find the further education that matches your requirements without having to search through long lists.
  • Personalized course recommendations: For registered members who opt for it, our AI provides tailored course suggestions. Based on past searches, saved favorites, or stated interests, you receive individually suitable courses and further education directly in your profile.
  • AI-powered study advice: Every week we receive numerous questions about distance learning. Our AI helps us analyze inquiries and assists our team in providing precise and informed answers. This way, you benefit from fast, reliable study advice - whether in our community, in Q&A areas, or directly via messages.
  • Optimizing our content: Our editorial team uses AI to structure our articles so we can focus on well-founded content. The AI helps us analyze topics, identify gaps, improve spelling, and optimize texts to make them more informative and relevant for you.

AI for your optimal distance learning experience: Thanks to artificial intelligence, fernstudi.net becomes more efficient, personalized, and user-friendly - so you can make the right decision for your further education faster.
