UK will not only be faster (you concentrate 100% on research with no extraneous busywork) and you will get to tick the “international experience” box at the same time.
- raister 8y agoSo, in short, US and UK will be faster? How come? Now the guy is more lost than before... I would choose the advisor regardless of his/her physical presence (whether at US or UK) and then follow my decision accordingly. I know for a fact that you want to have a friend on your side for the next 4 years or so.
- gaius 8y agoSo, in short, US and UK will be faster? A UK PhD takes 3 years, a US typically 6 because it is padded out with running errands for the prof and other time wasting.
- improbable22 8y agoSome of that time-wasting is likely to be teaching, which may or may not be a useful thing to have on your CV. But even after that, you will spend longer immersed in research in the US. Some kinds of thinking take wall-clock time. One other result of this is that there's a bit more room to change direction half way through, should you need or want to.
