Be seen by students choosing where to study
UniCompass is a free guide that students use to compare universities, scholarships and costs worldwide. Listing is always free — promotions give your institution extra prominence, clearly labelled and never cluttering the page.
Where your institution can appear
Each page shows at most 2 promotions, always marked “Sponsored” — so students trust what they see, and your message stands out.
Featured listing
Top of search results, the homepage “Featured institutions” section, and a gold Featured badge on the listing.
Homepage spotlight
One wide, tasteful banner on the homepage, just below the search area. Rotates between at most 3 advertisers.
Sponsored search result
A clearly labelled “Sponsored” card after the 3rd search result — optionally only when students search your country.
Destination banner
A slim banner above the results whenever students filter by your chosen country. One advertiser per country.
“Also consider” card
A sponsored card in the sidebar of other institutions’ pages in the same country (or the country you choose).
Scholarships page highlight
A highlighted card at the top of the Scholarships page — ideal for promoting your own scholarships or intakes.

How it works
From booking to live in minutes for featured listings; banners are checked within one working day.
Is listing on UniCompass still free?
Yes. Every accredited institution can be listed free of charge. Promotions only add extra visibility.
Do promotions affect rankings or data?
No. Rankings, fees and requirements are never changed for advertisers. Promoted placements are always labelled “Featured” or “Sponsored”.
What if every slot is taken?
Each placement has a small number of slots so pages never look cluttered. If a slot is full, your booking starts automatically as soon as one frees up — you never lose days.
Can I get an invoice or pay by bank transfer?
Yes — contact us and we’ll send an invoice. Paystack receipts are emailed automatically.
