It might be slightly dependent on whom you mentioned in you application and their availability. If you mentioned a specific PI, they likely put you on a weekend that that PI would be around for.

What is the average time to completion for that program? When I see a four-year award I think an incomplete degree or scrambling to find funding for the last year or two. I'm not trying to be rude or to ruin your excitement, I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to be rude or to ruin your excitement, I'm just curious. 4 years is quite a generous scholarship in the UK (where most secure funding for only 3 years). You don't have the first/two years of classes/rotations at the beginning of the PhD, so it's a whole different system from the US. Due to these differences, most students in Europe complete their PhDs in ~4 years ire1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
