130 credit points, of which 30 are a dissertation. This really doesn't deserve to be called a doctorate.
- scott_s 17y agoThat doesn't mean much. My program requires a minimum of 90 credits, and 30 of those must be research/dissertation credits. You can't tell by looking at the requirements on a form what the expectations are from the professors in that department for what's a passable dissertation.
- alexitosrv 17y agoNevertheless a more proportionate ratio would be expected. For a simple comparison, my masters degree has 80 credits, 40 of them are in the dissertation.
