Pursue a PhD That Shapes the Future
A Doctorate degree is more than an academic milestone — it’s a path to becoming a global thought leader, innovator, and expert in your field. At Education Plus Group, we guide exceptional students, academics, and professionals into some of the most competitive and rewarding PhD and research programmes across the globe.
From STEM and AI research in Canada, to social justice and policy innovation in the UK, or biomedical research in the USA and Australia, we offer tailored support for those who dare to push boundaries.
Why Pursue a PhD or Research Degree Abroad?
Global Recognition & Prestige
A PhD from a world-class university commands global respect — positioning you for careers in academia, policy, research institutions, think tanks, and leadership roles in global organisations.
Advanced Facilities & Cutting-Edge Research
Access some of the best research labs, libraries, and funding grants — whether you’re investigating climate change, AI, cancer treatments, education systems, or economic models.
Dedicated Research Supervision
Study under globally respected professors and research supervisors, often leaders in their disciplines, and gain access to rich academic networks and collaborations.
Funding Opportunities & Scholarships
Many top institutions offer full scholarships, tuition waivers, and monthly stipends for PhD students through research assistantships, fellowships, or funded projects.
Flexibility in Programme Structure
Many countries (UK, Australia, Canada, parts of Europe) offer research-only PhDs (without coursework), while others (USA, Asia) combine coursework + dissertation. This allows you to choose the structure that best fits your background.
Immigration & Work Opportunities
Several countries offer post-study work visas, fast-track immigration for PhD holders, and pathways to permanent residency (e.g. Canada and Australia).
