Question: what is the difference between full time and part time phd?
Answer: For instance, a part-time taught Master's student may take half as many modules a semester as a full-time student, and complete the degree in two years rather than one. In a part-time PhD, each 'year' would become two years. If you studied part-time from the outset, then a 3-4 year PhD would take 6-8 part time.
