The Profession-First Method
A structured, automated academic architecture for international students considering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland — built on data, not assumptions, with no placement conflict of interest.
Most education advisors start with university rankings and application fees. EduDecision starts with the profession itself — the labor market, the language reality, the regulatory framework, and the visa path after graduation.
The system is automated. You answer 40 questions. The algorithm scores your profile across 21 professions and 250+ universities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. You receive a structured report. No human intermediary. No commission conflict.
Academic decisions should be defensible, not emotional. Our database is updated monthly to reflect current NC thresholds, visa rules, and employment data.
