Re: How long does it take to earn a degree in your area?

[personal profile] ariakas 2014-03-12 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
In Canada (where I got my BSc and MA)?

Four years for a bachelors, two to four for a masters (anywhere between two and three is normal, the shortest I've ever heard of anyone doing it was a year and six months), three to eight (!!) for a phd. PhDs used to have no time limit, but they want to open more spaces for grad students, and eight is (more than) reasonable. Normal is 4-5.

In Japan (where I'm getting my PhD)?

Four for a bachelors, two for a masters, three for a phd (programs that lead directly to a phd right out of undergrad take five years, so there are no shortcuts), and rarely does anyone take longer than they're supposed to because it "looks bad" to future employers. There's precisely one student in my program of about 50 who's on year 6, and one who's on year 7, and they're both graduating this spring.
