Every country has a different education system, so it's not possible to answer your question definitively.

Here in the US, you first have to earn a bachelor's degree in physics, which takes 4 years (and often 5 years - or more).

Then you apply to graduate programs. The time it takes to complete graduate school varies widely, but generally it's about 2 years if you stop at a master's, or 5 to 8 years (please someone correct me if that's wrong) to get a Phd.

3 year degree with an Honours thesis is good enough to get into UK universities.

Only Imperial and Cambridge want a 4 year degree (I think)

All the other UK universities only need 3 year

I can tell you that completing a degree in physics typically takes 3-4 years, depending on the university and program requirements. However, some students may take longer if they choose to study part-time or if they need to retake courses. Additionally, obtaining a Master's degree in physics can take an additional 1-2 years, and a PhD can take an additional 3-5 years.

The time taken for a Master's or PhD program also depends on the individual's research project and progress. Some students may complete their degrees in less time, while others may take longer. It is important to carefully consider your research interests and choose a program that aligns with your goals.

Regarding sponsorship for a PhD program, it is possible to have a sponsor, such as a research grant or scholarship, but it is not guaranteed. It is important to research potential funding opportunities and discuss them with your advisor or department. Additionally, some universities may offer teaching or research assistantships to help cover the cost of tuition and living expenses.

Overall, completing a degree in physics can be a challenging but rewarding experience. It is important to carefully consider your options and seek guidance from your professors and advisors to ensure a successful academic journey.
