Use the Program level filter in ApplyBoard Search to find Doctoral and PhD programs across all global destinations — quickly narrowing results to only advanced research degrees.
How to Filter for Doctoral and PhD Programs
- Log in to ApplyBoard and go to Programs & Schools in the left navigation panel.
- Click the Program level dropdown in the main filter bar.
- Scroll down and check the box beside Doctoral/PhD.
- Your results will update immediately to show only Doctoral-level programs.
Tip! Doctoral applicants often have very specific research interests. After applying the Doctoral/PhD filter, use the What would you like to study? search box to narrow results by field — for example, Molecular Biology or Macroeconomics. This ensures the programs you recommend align with your student's research goals.
Note: You can combine the Doctoral/PhD filter with destination and institution filters to narrow results further. For a full list of available filters, see the Search Filters complete guide.
