Pathyras vs Studyportals
Studyportals runs Bachelorsportal, Mastersportal, PhDPortal and related sites, indexing over 200,000 study programmes worldwide — substantially more than Pathyras's crawled catalogue — plus its own AI advisor (Sophia) for finding programmes and scholarships. It is purpose-built for finding a degree, and stops there: no work-visa sponsor search and no post-study migration planning.

When to choose Studyportals
If your only question right now is which specific degree programmes exist in your subject worldwide, Studyportals' catalogue is larger than Pathyras's and worth searching directly.
When to choose Pathyras
If the real question is what happens after the degree — can you stay and work, which fields have real sponsor density, what a student visa actually costs — Pathyras connects study data to work-visa and sponsor data in one pathway, which Studyportals does not attempt.
Frequently asked questions
Does Studyportals have more programmes than Pathyras?
Yes — Studyportals indexes over 200,000 programmes globally, considerably more than Pathyras's crawled catalogue of 14,000+. Pathyras's programme pages instead pair study data with sponsor data for the same country and field.
Can Studyportals tell me if I can work after I graduate?
Not directly — it is focused on finding and comparing degree programmes, not post-study work visas or sponsorship. See our guide on post-study work visas for that comparison across countries.
