# FindAPhD

> FindAPhD is a doctoral study search engine helping prospective students find and compare PhD programmes, funded projects and studentships from universities worldwide.

FindAPhD is part of the FindAUniversity Ltd network, which also publishes FindAMasters, FindAnMBA, FindAPostdoc, FindAProfessionalDoctorate and PostgraduateForum — those are separate sites with their own llms.txt and are out of scope here. `/providers/` (institution advertising/marketing pages) and `/connect/` (the FindAPhD Connect embeddable-listings widget, a B2B integration product) are also out of scope as they target universities and partners, not students.
