Programs Path to a PhD in Aerospace Engineering: Requirements and Timeline

AI Thread Summary
To obtain a Ph.D. degree, a student typically needs to complete coursework and conduct extensive research in their field of expertise. The duration for earning a Ph.D. varies significantly by discipline, generally ranging from 2 to 10 years. Most students can expect an average timeline of about 5-6 years post-undergraduate studies, with 2-3 years dedicated to obtaining a Master's degree and an additional 2-5 years for the Ph.D. The majority of the time spent in a Ph.D. program focuses on research work. Some students may choose to bypass a Master's degree and pursue a Ph.D. directly, with an estimated 6 years needed for completion, including 2 years for classes and 4 years for research.

What does a PhD student need to do in order to get a Ph.D degree? How long does it take a PhD student to get a PhD degree?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
it depends on the field. Usually its anythere from 2 years (if youre really good) to 10 years.
 
From my university, it takes 2-3 years to get a Masters degree, and another 2-5 years for the PhD.

Yep, 2 years minimum. Usually the majority of it is research work
into your field of expertise.

Live long and prosper.
 
Skip your MS and go straight to PhD, you won't need it. And plan on 6 years, 2 for classes and 4 for research.
 
Heh, I'm skipping B. Sc. and going straight for the M. Sc.
Not going for PhD though.
