Our Process
How It Works
Understand Total Cost vs Tuition
Many students compare only tuition fees. Total cost includes tuition, living, health insurance, visa fees, flights, and miscellaneous. EduVed always presents total cost models — not just tuition.
Model Work Earnings by Country
Australia (unlimited work hours), Canada (24 hrs/week), UK (20 hrs/week), Germany (120 days/year), USA (20 hrs/week on-campus). Work earnings can offset 30–80% of living costs depending on country and city. EduVed factors realistic earnings into every cost model.
Compare Cost Per Year of Program
A 1-year UK master's at £30,000 total may be better value than a 2-year USA master's at $140,000 total — even if the annual rate is similar. EduVed always compares full program cost, not just per-year cost.
Calculate Education Loan Repayment
EduVed models education loan EMIs against post-study salaries in each country to show the real financial picture — time to loan repayment and net worth impact over 5 years.
Identify All Funding Sources
Scholarships, TA/RA assistantships, government fellowships, and part-time work all reduce net costs. EduVed identifies every applicable funding source for your destination and program.
Build Your Personalised Budget
EduVed creates a personalised 2–4 year study abroad budget plan accounting for your target country, city, program, and realistic income projections.
