If you're talking about a PhD:
As the typical advice goes with this sort of question: make sure you know what you're getting into. It sounds like you have a pretty good deal in terms of funding, but remember that regardless you need to write a dissertation. Now, you could take the funding and leave after you get your masters, but you'd have to decide if you're morally comfortable with misleading the University.
- blackguardx 18y agoI have actually talked to many professors about this. There is no contract. There is no implicit agreement. People leave all the time for various reasons. Sure, it is kind of crummy to apply for a PhD program knowing you only want a masters, but that is life. If you leaving early had such a terrible impact on the university, they would make you sign a contract.
