About EduForum
EduForum is an independent education magazine dedicated to helping students, parents and career changers make better decisions about higher education. We publish guides to degrees and programmes, universities and colleges, admissions, scholarships and funding, online learning and studying abroad.
Our mission
Education advice online is often thin, repetitive, or written to sell a programme. We aim for the opposite: clear, useful writing that respects your time and helps you make real decisions — which qualification fits your goal, what a university really costs after aid, how admissions readers actually work, and when the answer is a cheaper or shorter route.
How we work
Every article is written by a named member of our editorial team with genuine experience in the topic. We check practical details such as admission requirements, funding rules and recognition procedures, and we update guides as institutions and policies change. Fees, deadlines and visa rules vary by country and year, so we always point you to the official source to confirm the current figures.
Advertising
EduForum is supported by advertising, and some links on this site may be commercial in nature. Ads are clearly labeled and never influence our editorial recommendations — we do not accept payment for a favourable verdict. If you have feedback about an ad or our content, please reach out through our contact page.
Meet our writers
Our guides are written by people who cover this beat for a living. Here's the team behind EduForum.
Tomás Reyes
Has spent over a decade analysing degree structures, programme costs and graduate outcomes across Europe and North America.
Tomás started out building programme-cost models for a university planning office and has been comparing qualifications across systems ever since. He is most interested in what a degree costs in time and money against what it actually leads to. He writes our degrees and programmes coverage.
Ruth Callahan
Former university registrar who has worked with transcripts, transfer credit and accreditation reviews for fifteen years.
Ruth ran a registrar's office before she started writing, which means she has seen exactly which transfer credits survive and which quietly disappear. She reads rankings methodologies so readers do not have to, and she covers how to judge an institution on evidence rather than reputation.
Clara Whitfield
Read thousands of undergraduate and graduate applications as a former admissions reader.
Clara spent years on the other side of the application pile, scoring essays, letters and transcripts under deadline. She writes our admissions coverage with one aim: to explain what readers actually weigh, so applicants spend their effort where it counts.
Amara Nwosu
Student-finance writer covering scholarships, financial aid, loans and the real cost of a degree.
Amara paid for her own degree with a patchwork of scholarships, part-time work and a loan she still remembers in detail. She writes about the money side of education — reading aid offers line by line, comparing net prices, and telling readers plainly when a funding route is not worth it.
Jonah Brandt
Former instructional designer who has built online courses for universities and corporate training teams.
Jonah designed online courses for years before writing about them, so he knows what separates a well-built programme from a recorded lecture series. He covers online degrees, certificates, bootcamps and the practicalities of studying alongside a full-time job.
Mei Lin Hart
International-student adviser who has guided applicants through admissions, visas and credential recognition in several countries.
Mei Lin studied in three countries and then spent years advising international students on everything that happens around the degree — budgets, visas, language tests and getting a qualification recognised afterwards. She writes our study abroad coverage.
