I know of some people that paid for their PhD (UK) only to be "recommended" to not continue and leaving with an MPhil.

- gu 13y agoThis could happen in the US as well, if I'm not mistaken. There is normally a requirement that you have to be in "good standing" during the first one or two years of your PhD when you're mostly doing course work.
- agilebyte 13y agoYes, I have a sneaking suspicion that an MPhil (= failed PhD in a lot of fields, so useless) is sometimes being sold as a PhD experience to people that are simply not good enough.
