Transform your passion for discovery into a lifelong journey of impact. Let MyPhD.org guide you to the perfect PhD program with our free, expert-led process—from application to offer.
Our Story
Discover how myphd.org supports global research talent through 100% free, expert-led PhD placement services.
myphd.org was founded on a singular principle: that access to world-class research education should not be constrained by geography, privilege, or finances.
In an increasingly interconnected yet competitive academic landscape, aspiring researchers often face significant structural barriers. From a lack of institutional guidance to the opaque complexity of international admissions, many capable students are left without support.
myPhD.org exist to change that.
Academic Access, Reimagined
We provide comprehensive and personalised support to individuals seeking admission into globally recognised PhD programmes. Our mission is to democratise the pursuit of research excellence through a structured, non-commercial, and inclusive approach.
We believe talent exists everywhere, but opportunity does not. That’s why we offer:
Personalised university and supervisor matching
Guidance on crafting compelling research proposals
Line-by-line feedback on statements of purpose
Application and interview readiness
Long-term mentoring and academic skills support
All at zero cost to the applicant.
Rooted in Academic Experience
Our initiative is led by doctoral graduates and academic advisors who have experienced the challenges of postgraduate admissions first-hand. We bring authentic, system-level insight into academic gatekeeping, institutional expectations, and research funding dynamics.
This allows us to:
Increase offer rates across disciplines
Support students from underrepresented regions
Improve long-term academic placement and progression
Offer guidance that is both empirically grounded and practically effective
Beyond Admissions
Our story is not only about admissions. It’s about affirming potential, building global academic networks, and nurturing the next generation of researchers who will shape critical inquiry and innovation.
Whether you are just beginning to explore doctoral study or are deep in the application process, myphd.org is your academic ally—from goals to graduation.
The Path Forward
We continue to build a community that values rigour, transparency, and inclusion. Our services are open to applicants from all academic backgrounds and are especially attuned to the needs of those from underrepresented and underserved contexts.
We are proud to be reshaping how academic futures are discovered, prepared for, and secured.
Our services are open to applicants pursuing a PhD, Master's, or undergraduate degree. We work with students from all academic backgrounds and regions, offering tailored support at every stage of the journey.
Is MyPhD.org completely free to use?
Yes. All our services, including university matching, application reviews, and interview preparation, are entirely free of charge. We believe academic support should be universally accessible.
When can I begin the application process?
You may begin at any time. We support universities across the globe, many of which offer rolling admissions or multiple intake periods throughout the year.
I’ve already started applying—can I still reach out?
Absolutely. Whether you need a second opinion on your materials or wish to explore additional program options, our team is happy to support you at any point in the process.
Which countries and institutions do you support?
We work with a wide range of universities in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, and beyond. If you have a specific destination in mind, we can likely support your application to institutions in that region.
How long does the typical application process take?
This varies by individual. Some applicants complete everything in 4–6 weeks, while others take several months to build a competitive profile. We adapt our support to your pace, offering guidance as you prepare.
Do you assist with scholarship and funding applications?
Yes. Many of the programs we recommend offer full or partial funding, and we provide support with scholarship applications, funding statements, and offer negotiation.
What makes MyPhD.org different from other advisory services?
Unlike generic admissions platforms, we offer personalised, human-centred guidance. Our team provides in-depth academic advising, detailed feedback on application materials, and structured coaching—all at no cost. We focus on long-term academic fit, not just admissions.
How do I begin working with MyPhD.org?
You can start by completing a free academic assessment on our website. This allows us to understand your goals and academic background so we can provide tailored recommendations. Alternatively, you may email us directly at [email protected] to begin the conversation.
What if I am unsure of my research topic or academic direction?
That’s completely normal, especially at the beginning of your academic journey. Our advisors will help you explore your interests, identify areas of alignment with current research priorities, and shape a compelling academic narrative that reflects your strengths and ambitions.
