Can't elaborate on the thesis, but prior to enrolling for a PhD program you indeed have to pass a philosophy exam. This is usually considered the most difficult. Passed it in summer.
- mlvljr 11y agoThere's also another one, being a part of the so called "Candidate Minimum" (normally to be taken after taking a one-year philosophy (or philosopy of science -- for engineers) course) :)
- Grue3 11y agoI remember taking this. I had to answer something about socialism or marxism or whatever (I remember having to name the prominent socialist thinkers). This was in the 2000s, by the way. I got 3 points out of 5. I passed the other exams, math and English, perfectly, and that was not enough. I only got accepted due to personal recommendation of my scientific advisor. Since then I'm of the opinion that "Ph" is complete bullshit.
- nobodyshere 11y agoI prefer to think of "Ph" as a tradition.
