Thank you for a very detailed answer! In Germany, where I live, PhD process is different from USA [1]. After getting Master, one can apply for PhD that will be thesis / research part only, without mandatory coursework.

Yes, expectations vary quite a bit country to country. I should have mentioned that! In the USA you may be given a masters as a sort of consolation prize if you leave a PhD early, but rarely are required to have one to enter a PhD. In Canada you often have to do both, at full length. Cambridge is more like your system, but instead of a masters there is a sort of in-between course year. Etc, etc.
