Ph.D. programs vary a lot by country, school, and department. They mostly appear uniform from the outside. Big variabilities include: funding, status, teaching load, qualifying exams (these are after you are in), amount of choice, publications, expected level of choice/originality in thesis topic, writing, and open/closed defense.
- lutusp 12y agoVery, very true. To see it most clearly, compare a physics Ph.D. to a psychology Ph.D.. EDIT: to readers, the reason posts like this are downvoted is not because they're false, but because they're true. The anonymous downvoters are trying to conceal the truth.
