Sources & data provenance

Every figure on Vianorr Education comes from a named source. This registry lists each source, its publisher, the current edition we use, and what data it backs. Where we know a source needs verification against a newer edition, we note it.

Our provenance standard. Every data item carries: (1) the source name and publisher, (2) the specific edition or report year, and (3) the date from which it is valid. Figures from a previous reference year are displayed with a staleness notice and a link to the institution's official page. Tuition data on this site is from the 2024–25 academic year — treat it as a planning reference, not a current figure.
