    Three years for a PhD? Must be a Brit or combined degree. Average is almost six at the moment.

      They are 5-6 in my neck of the woods. You can go straight to a PhD from a bachelor’s though

        There is some field dependency - mathematics is notoriously fast. The other one I talk about below is the PhD portion of an MD/PhD. In some fields (mine included) there’s 2 years of coursework plus lab research so it was heavily results driven.

      Even as a Brit that’d be fast. Here you’re funded for 3.5y with 6mo unfunded “writing up time”.
