And in many countries, you can do bachelors, masters and PhD at 3 different institutions. But in the US, usually you have to do masters-PhD in one institution, even if you already have a masters (or is this only in my field?). In other countries, such as France, bachelor-masters is common to do together, in only 4-5 years (or is this only in my field?).

- swimfar 6y ago"But in the US, usually you have to do masters-PhD in one institution, even if you already have a masters" That is definitely field specific. I think physics often bundles masters/PhD together. And maybe there others too. But for all of the fields of engineering that I'm familiar with they are completely separate programs.
