Spot the Brit?
Not sure which other countries have 3y bachelor's degrees and will let you do a PhD without a master's degree and also have 3y doctorate degrees

Where do you need a Masters to attain a PhD? Honest question, I just never heard of it before.

My wife attained her MD/PhD from the University of Chicago/Pritzker and does not have a Masters. She's on the MD/PhD committee for her university and they do not require anything other than a BS in the field of study.

With that said, it probably isn't much of a stretch to just get a Masters in the way to a PhD.

Me? I'm depriving some poor village of its idiot. I have a BS and that's it.

Definitely depends on the field. Most "humanities" studies require a masters first, although for that reason many PhD programs include the step of getting your masters so it can all be done as a single track. So still a standard ~6 year program but you get both, masters after the first 3 and then PhD after 3 more. I've only ever run with folks in humanities I'm realizing, so I didn't even realize there were PhDs you could get without a masters

In the EU it's usually like that. 3 years for a bachelor's, 2 years for a master's, only then you can start pursuing a phd.

I graduated in 2005, and back then we had a different system, where I did a single 5 year program for a computer science degree (engineering), that today is the equivalent of a master's (diplom engineer). I could have continued to go for a dedicated master's, another 2 years, but I got lazy.

This is true in Sweden. Though by the 5 year program you might be Swedish too. // Got a civilingenjörsexamen

I get that this is the Internet.

But how about this one time, we all converse as adults.

How does that sound?

An adult response would have been:

"Virtually all European universities require a Masters to attain a PhD."

This is Lemmy and not Reddit after all.

[–] ninpnin@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

This is the most reddit response Ive ever gotten lmao

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

6 semester for a Bachelor's degree is pretty common…

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago

Yes and that addresses only one of the three parts of my statement
