It takes at least two years and at most seven years to get a British doctorate, but most people finish it in 3-5 years. According to the situation, it usually takes 3-5 years for a student to finish his undergraduate course in China and study for a doctorate abroad, whether he is a master or a graduate student, and it usually takes about 3 years for a student to apply for a doctorate directly.

The doctoral system in Britain is a tutorial system with few courses. The core point of most universities' requirements for doctoral students is innovation and application practice. Simply put, British universities and tutors pay more attention to students' research results and innovation ability. In general, students can accumulate some practical and academic achievements by following their tutors' projects. During this period, they can also form papers from the practice and achievements. Graduation can be smoother than graduation through defense. Usually you can graduate in three or four years.
