  1. What's your story on how you got into your fields?
  2. I like the fact that they focus much more on research than teaching. Does that mean if you become a professor in UK, you will not spend as much time teaching and more time researching, unlike the US? Are there any forums geared towards finding more about grad school programs in UK and elsewhere in Europe?
  3. For Master's program, how much hours do you find yourself putting in per week into your special research topic?
  4. For History, do you teach for the first 3 years of the PhD program and then not teach for the next 5 years? Also I heard PhD Program for history is 8 years. Why is it so long? Was it always like this?
  5. Thank you. How many hours a week do a Master student or PhD student spend time on taking classes, teaching classes, doing class-related works such as writing papers for class and preparing to teach or grade in class? I heard PhD student teaches class for first 2 years and then just works on thesis and you are not required to live around campus because you can do your thesis regardless of your location, is that true?
  6. Shorter, as in how many years shorter? What about Master's are they mostly 1 year program in the UK? Do professors in UK teach less and research more too?
  7. How many hours do they spend prepping, teaching, grading, and office hours a week and how many hours do they spend on their research?
  8. Do all Canadian programs have lack of funding for non-Canadian citizens? Also does lack of funding mean no TAship?
  9. Are History PhDs in Europe 3 years long? If you get your PhD in History in Europe, are you limited to job offers in Europe mostly? If you want to get a PhD in France, Spain, or Italy instead of Germany, what is the process like?
