Is there any universities in europe offering direct route phds?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have no idea what "direct route" means. Do you mean without a masters?
 
It's not the best idea to go direct route to PhD because you may be stuck to a project you can't stand.

Yup...

Oh, then most of them. All you need is an undergrad degree with an honours thesis, usually at least 2:1. A couple insist on 4 years of study before applying, but most are fine with 3.

in the UK you can get into a 3.5 year PhD course with that degree.

Cambridge and Imperial need 4 years, Oxford, Manchester, UCL, etc only need a 3 year degree
