Rank universities, degree programmes and funded research by how well they fit the applicant.
The challenge
Choosing where to apply abroad means comparing one profile against thousands of programmes, scholarships and research groups spread across separate university websites. Applicants do that comparison by hand, one tab at a time, and still miss the funding they qualify for.

Profiles as vectors
The matching engine converts an applicant's academic history, research interests and constraints into a vector, then ranks programmes and research groups by compatibility rather than by keyword. It means a candidate surfaces funded groups they would never have searched for by name.
Funding is the hard part
A programme match is useless if it is unaffordable, so funding sits in the same index as the programmes — a 4,000-record scholarship and funding database that ranks alongside the academic results instead of living in a separate list.
After the shortlist
The platform carries the applicant past the decision: a document vault that gives AI-assisted feedback on each upload, per-application status tracking, and automated email outreach across the eight destination countries the product covers.
