Hey Sana,
To be considered for a PhD without a Master's degree, you must have a Bachelor's degree. An appropriate bachelor's degree in a 3-year undergraduate study is normally required for those interested in pursuing a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) PhD. This is not the case for students interested in non-STEM PhD programs. Rather, students seeking doctorates in subjects such as the arts and humanities are often expected to hold a relevant Bachelor's degree from a four-year program.

Hey Sana,
While a Ph.D. focuses on academic research, a professional doctorate contributes significantly and uniquely to the advancement of professional practise. A professional doctorate is made up of coursework and a thesis of 70,000 to 100,000 words.

Hey Myra!

You should not mention your score in IELTS, SAT, GRE, or GMAT exams, as they are already mentioned in your application.

Read about all these points in detail here: Know how to write an SOP for Ph.D. a step by step guide.

Hey Myra!

The answer depends on the path you choose. A doctorate degree requires at least 60 to 120 semester credit hours (or, approximately 20-40 college classes). The majority of PhDs take the full 120 hours, although most applied doctorates are on the lower end of the spectrum.

The duration of the course also depends on the subject area you are pursuing and the type of program offered by the institution. A doctorate usually takes 4 to 6 years, whereas a PhD can take up to 8 years.

Hey Meghana,
A doctorate degree is the greatest academic honor; it signifies that you have mastered a particular field of study or vocation. Extensive study and articulation are required for the degree. This is how this degree usually works-

How long will it take to get a doctorate degree?

Ph.D.’s in NZ cost between $6,500 and $9000 per year

It is pretty hard to do a PhD without getting financial support from the school, and universities understand that! You get a monthly stipend and the tuition and health insurance is covered.
The school either rejects an application or grants admission with funding guarantees. In some rare cases, it does grant admission but offers only a partial aid.

Adding to what Juhi said, you will also (usually) have your health insurance covered as well

Hey Sid,
The top questions that you should be prepared to answer in your PhD interview are:
