Yeah that's right, 3 year is meant to be equivalent to your 4 year. We have a partnership with the University of Arizona where you can do a semester in the 3rd year and you're meant to take 4th year courses. Maybe I should try there as some of my professors know some of theirs so I could get a...

Ah right - this makse sense. All of our PHD students help in labs and go over problem sets with us. Presumably they get the same support (I should really know this by now). Thankyou, this is very good news. Will this support be available for the first two years of the PHD? Also, I've heard...

But how does this help with fees? Could you please explain, I really don't have much of a clue when it comes to PHD's, even in the UK. Thanks

Hmm, well I don't mind being slimey. But I'm still confused as to how this will actually help my fees? The University of South Carolina's fees that were linked to by Jbell seem to be 10K a year for graduates - regardless of whether you're doing a PHD or Masters?

Ouch. Even south carolina's 10thousand dollars a year. Is what 98whbf suggested a good idea - going into do a PHD then quitting after a masters? If I've understood correctly then you get paid to do a PHD, so the tuition fees are a lot less?

okay, thanks for the info. So basically it's unlikely i'll get a scholarship. That means i'll have to pay for my tuition fees in full, which is how much money exactly?

I'm in my 2nd year of a 3year BSc Physics course in the UK. I was wondering whether it would be financially faesible to study for a masters in the US? What sort of financial support is available and how many years does a typical Physics masters take? Thanks
