You said in a post you where called hos girlfriend or something. Romper said he thought it was BFF ... Thats all. This morning in your excellent mega post :-)

Edit! I laughed at fucknuggets!!

Oh no, Romper, we had to be gay partners because we both had the nerve to say something to him, it's only a logical and mature conclusion isn't it? That is about the mental level of a 13 year old, labelling everything and everybody 'gay' (or 'gypsy').

What's the difference? I honestly have no idea because the guidance at my uni is non existent. And yes, I do intend to go on to teach.

Both are the "ultimate" level of degree you can get. However, they have different aproaches on how you will learn things...

PhD is an American creation, very academic oriented, way too theoretically to my taste. Very good (the best option) if you want to become an University Professor though.

Doctorate, on the other hand, is much more pratical and focused on real situations. Still very theorical, but way less than PhD.

Nop, not hard, but that's why the UK was on the top of my list.

Sometimes it is good man, it takes us out of our comfort zone! :D

It also doesnt mess up with the degree, since that will be in English anyways...

Okay, let's see if I can explain the US college University scheme a little better for you

Degrees:

Associates degree: 2 years of college level courses,for most things not ver useful but some things like nursing, EMT, paramedics, medical lab tech, basic accounting, general office or manufacturing jobs it is enough

Bachelors degree (only called undergraduate when you are in school or have a higher degree) is a four year program of study

Masters is a 2 year degree that you complete after your masters ( sometimes called a graduate degree) example: MBA is a masters degree in business

Doctorate: if done after your bachelor's will take at least 4 years and as many as 7 depends on the subject. Less if you have a Masters

PhD is a doctorate in Philosophy and is the generic designation for most fields of study.

MD is a medical doctorate

DMV is a doctorate in veterinary medicine

There is a special designation for a doctorate in Law, Theology, and Education... And probably some others.

For example my business card would say some thing like: Kerry Camp, MAT, BChE, B.S. because I have a Masters of Arts in Teaching and two Bachelors degrees one in Chemical Engineering and one in Science (Biology) but it doesn't list my minors or degree specialization.

@Choulo, living in a country where you are not proficient in the language is not so bad and gives you a lot of incentive to learn the language

@CHOULO19,

USA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer's_degree#United_States

Europe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer's_degree#Europe.2C_according_to_the_Bologna_Process

As you can see, Lebanon followed the Bologna Process. However, the top European Universities and alll American Universities continue to use the basic three-way degree (5 year Bachelor, 2 year Master and 1-2 year Doctorate). I really wonder how you can do a PhD in some countries with only 5 years of study, but there must be a reason why they allow it...

I have never known there to be a difference between a phd and a doctorate. Here, in the US where ive been, Germany - the Max Planck, Oxford uni, London School of Economics ..... All the same. A phd is a phd. Average 4-6 years depending. What they often do in the States is send you to Grad school (while being a teaching or research assistent) where you get extra phd prep courses and do lab groups.

Maybe it is different in technical fields, but here - europe and US - the difference is purely academic.

Edit: blueschicks explanation is more correct - i date from pre-bologna :-) The main lines are the same.

You're welcome :) I have been through the process often enough that I understand it very well and now end up advising a lot of our students who are interested in US schools since I am more familiar with them (especially the non-private ones that our guidance counselor favors). Personally, I don't see why you should spend $50, 000 US per year for a university when there are good schools that are not that expensive especially if med school or grad school are in your future. Save your money for that big name (Harvard, Yale, etc) for the degree that will ultimately get you your job.
