Need professional advice

Strange

What is the minimum year to obtain a PhD? I know it takes normally around 3 years in UK, but is there any other place or Univ (Preferably in QATAR) which takes lesser time to finish off? I currently hold 2 Bachelors degree of which one is from oxford, 1 masters (MBA) and a professional degree as well. I know that qualification also matters in enrolling for a PhD. I have done a search about this, but was of no use.

Many Thanks.

that I know of, except maybe QU in Islamic Studies. CNAQ only offers associate degrees. None of the unis in EC offer doctorates either. I know this because my wife was looking into pursuing one in English here but she has to do it back home.

strange, follow what ajmani has said..Contact QATAR UNIVERSITY...

Yes, to complete PhD really depends on the type of preparation for a particulat subject that one opts for..Thesis should be complete with your lots of inputs and ideas in it..

Thanks ajmani. As far as i know, CNAQ does not offer PhD. But is it worth doing here in Qatar if they have one?

As long as you are a post graduate, you can apply for the PhD degree. Ofcourse, your percentage in PG degree has to be higher. Now, it may take anywhere between 2-10 years to complete your PhD for a simple reason that you will have to select your subject and prepare thesis on the same. This thesis has to be unique, with support from lot of research. I personally think that it will take 3 years when you are 100% on the studies. Good luck with your PhD. As in Qatar, you can approach Qatar University, or CNA-Q, or other colleges to confirm if they offer PhD here!
