A supervisor match, not just an admission.

PhD admissions are a supervisor-matching game dressed up as an application. We help you find the right lab, craft a credible research proposal and apply for funding — not just tick boxes.

PhD Mentorship
Who it's for

Built for Master's graduates aiming at PhD admissions.

Applicants to UK, USA, Canada, UAE and Singapore doctoral programmes across engineering, computer science, medicine, humanities, social sciences and basic sciences. Supports Master's-by-research applications too.

What we work on

The research-first approach.

Research interest refinement, literature-review support, methodology framing, proposal drafting, CV tailoring, supervisor identification, cold-outreach drafting, interview prep, and full-funding applications.

01
Supervisor matching 🤝

Your PhD stands on your supervisor.

We run systematic searches across recent publications, find supervisors whose active research aligns with yours, analyse their group size and help draft outreach emails. No generic templates.

02
Fully-funded routes 💰

Gates, Clarendon, Vanier, CSC.

Most of our PhD applicants aim for fully-funded positions. We map the major scholarship routes and align your application timeline to each.

03
Interview & viva prep 🗣️

Research defences with current PhDs.

We pair you with a current or recent PhD from a comparable programme for a live research-defence rehearsal. Much more valuable than a generic mock interview.

04
Proposal drafting ✍️

Strong methodology & framing.

3–5 drafts of a 2,000–5,000 word proposal through a senior research mentor, ensuring your contribution and methodology are framed perfectly for the funding committee.
