By Europe I meant 'mainland Europe', where it is very exceptional to get hired in any PhD position without a masters. So you've already taken 5 years of classes

By Europe I meant 'mainland Europe', where it is very exceptional to get hired in any PhD position without a masters. So you've already taken 5 years of classes, which is what the gp was talking about. Very few continental PhD's will be taking any classes.
- detaro 8y agoGP assumes with no reason the "starting from an undergraduate degree", where the article is quoting 5 years for the PhD only, not for masters + PhD.
