E.g. here in Germany, you are required to write a Doctor's thesis (that needs to be accepted by a Professor) and pass an oral exam, but there are usually no required courses.
Any specific examples of this? (In Germany or elsewhere?)
- Nitramp 16y agoWell, you can look at the individual University's pages. Having courses in a PhD, or having something like a "PhD program" in general, is still very rare. The common model is to take a job as an assistant researcher with the chair of your Professor, work on your PhD thesis and papers 50% of the time, and be treated like cheap slave labour by your professor the other 95% (sic!) of the time.
