We use official sources first, show the date we last checked every changeable fact, label anything sponsored, and say plainly how AI is used.
Sources
Official institution publications come first, then primary statistics, then reputable academic or industry sources. Each changeable fact is linked to its source and dated. We do not copy text from other sites and we do not scrape competitor sites.
Independence
Advertisers and affiliates do not influence our content. At present there are none. Any sponsored item will be labelled, and paid items will not change the order of results or the facts shown.
Authorship and review
Pages carry the byline “DesignCourse Editorial Team”; we do not use personal names or photos. A review line, such as “Reviewed by the Expert Panel, design faculty”, appears only where that role actually reviewed the page. Until a qualified reviewer is engaged, the line reads “Checked against official sources by the DesignCourse Editorial Team”.
How AI is used
AI may help draft structure, explanations and summaries. Facts come from cited sources. For this release the source checks were automated, and human fact-checking and faculty review are still pending; we say so on each listing rather than imply otherwise.
Updates
Programme records are rechecked before each admission season. Dated changes to the site are listed on the updates page.
Corrections
