In my experience, a master student's final project typically constitute their first foray into / encounter with academic research. So yes, untrained in that sense.
- rowanG077 5y agoPhD is not schooling. It's a research job. You get paid to do a PhD.
- Beldin 5y agoAround here, a training and education plan is required. Some institutions have a requirement on ECTS or another form of "study points" a PhD student must have gathered before defence. The fact that you are paid doesn't preclude it being a traineeship.

- fivea 5y ago> PhD is not schooling. It's a research job. You get paid to do a PhD. No not really. A PhD student at most receives a scholarship, and currently at least in Europe has to undergo a curricular part comprised of a dozen or so courses. How does that not count as schooling? If I'm not mistaken the only exception to the schooling requirement is if a student is able to publish a few research papers on a topic that are coherent and related to a concrete research topic that could support their thesis.
- rowanG077 5y agoThis is not the way it is in the Netherlands. You get a full salary and don't have any courses. You after all already did all relevant courses during your masters.
