RESEARCH PROGRAM

From curiosity to publication.
Real research. Real output.

RESEARCH FIELDS

What you can study.

We match students with active researchers and PhD mentors across four broad disciplines. Every project is designed to produce a tangible academic output — a conference paper, a research report, or a competition submission.

STEM

  • Biology & Biomedical Sciences
  • Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence
  • Engineering & Robotics
  • Mathematics & Applied Statistics
  • Chemistry & Environmental Science
  • Physics & Astronomy

Business

  • Finance & Economics
  • Marketing & Consumer Behavior
  • Entrepreneurship & Innovation
  • Data Analytics & Business Intelligence

Social Sciences

  • Psychology & Behavioral Science
  • Political Science & Public Policy
  • Sociology & Education
  • International Relations

Humanities

  • History & Philosophy
  • Literature & Cultural Studies
  • Linguistics & Communication
  • Art History & Visual Culture

PROGRAM FORMATS

Two formats.

Two formats to fit different students and goals. Same standard across both: every student finishes with a publishable output and first-author credit.

Format A — One-on-One Mentorship

Paired directly with a PhD-level research instructor for individualized guidance.

  • One-on-one online research method and paper-writing instruction with assigned mentor
  • Research topic assigned based on student's academic level and interests
  • Full paper development: literature review → methodology → drafting → revision
  • Submission to an internationally recognized conference (Scopus / EI / CPCI indexed)
  • Student listed as first author
  • Recommendation letter from research mentor available upon completion
  • Paper acceptance guaranteed within agreed timeline

Format B — Team Research Project

Collaborative research in a small cohort (3–5 students), guided by a lead researcher.

  • Structured team project with assigned roles and shared deliverables
  • Weekly group sessions with mentor supervision
  • Individual contribution clearly defined and documented
  • Co-authored paper with individual contribution credit
  • Submission to a recognized conference or academic journal
  • Builds teamwork, peer review, and academic collaboration skills
  • Lower cost entry point with the same publication standard
