Hi Vera,

Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the interface did not feel user friendly for you.

If you are searching for PhD opportunities on PhDportal.com, you can use the degree filter to select PhD specifically, which should prevent Master’s programmes from appearing in your suggestions. The same applies across our ecosystem, whether on Bachelorsportal.com for Bachelor’s degrees, Mastersportal.com for Master’s degrees, or PhDportal.com for PhD programmes.

Your comment about mixed suggestions is very valuable, and we will share it with our product team to further improve the experience.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share this with us 💙

Request for review …

I like the whole idea of what you are set out to do - linking aspiring students to their preferred schools and destinations.
I'll like you to streamline the search per countries instead of lumping all the courses and countries together.
Let us see list of courses and universities or schools country by country.
Thank you.

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about our platform 🙌

You can actually filter programmes by country on PhDportal. On the left side of the search page, you will find filters where you can select a specific country and then narrow your results further by discipline, degree type, or other criteria. This should allow you to explore universities and courses country by country.

The same filtering option is also available on Mastersportal.com for Master’s degrees and on Bachelorsportal.com for Bachelor’s degrees, so you can always refine your search depending on the level you are interested in.

If anything feels unclear while using the filters, please let us know. Feedback like yours helps us continuously improve our ecosystem.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts 💙

Hi Dania,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the information you found on phdportal.com differed from what you saw on the university’s official website.

We work closely with universities to keep programme details such as tuition fees, admission requirements, and intake dates updated. However, universities may change information during the year, and sometimes updates on their official website can happen before we receive the latest revision.

Accuracy is very important to us. If you could share the specific programme or detail that was different, we would gladly review and correct it immediately.

Alongside phdportal.com, students can also explore Bachelorsportal.com and Mastersportal.com, where we follow the same commitment to transparent and reliable study information worldwide.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to improve your experience 💙
