    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

      I’ve never heard of Masters for PhD? Coursework is opposite direction?

      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.

          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.
