Frequently asked questions

How does the AI matching work?
For PhD searches, your CV and research interests are encoded into a semantic vector and matched against 4.6 million researcher profiles using hybrid dense+sparse retrieval, then re-ranked for diversity. The top matches are enriched with program details, rankings, and application info by a large language model — but every professor and institution in the results is real, sourced from our database.

For Master's searches, AI analyzes your complete profile and finds the best-fit programs in your target country, including curriculum details, admission requirements, and funding.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your CV is stored securely on our servers and used only to generate your recommendations. We don't sell or share your personal data. Only your academic information is sent to our AI providers for recommendation generation. Privacy Policy
