It took you only two years to get your PhD?! I thought the average duration is around 4-6 years. Congrats!

- vorg 14y agoMaybe those "2 yrs" were the last 2 years of his/her PhD program. Anyway, maybe s/he entered with a Masters, which could be compulsory for the Euro-style programs, and not counted towards the average length, which may be 3-4 years.
- elemeno 14y agoIt's not too uncommon, I think, that the first two years of a PhD program award you a masters and then another two years (on average) to get your PhD. IIRC, there are a few types of Masters like an MPhil which are pretty much labels that you were in a PhD program but didn't finish your PhD.
