Interview with Matthew Kille - AmigaOS 4.0 GUI Design : Comment 25 of 46 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 18-Jun-2003 07:50 GMT | In reply to Comment 19 (Anonymous): "I spent four years as a member of the ISRG"
That's past tense. Unless Mr Kille is very unusual his PhD research was sponsored by the British government, via a research council, who pay a substantial tax-free income for three years. The usual time to convert an MPhil/PhD application to PhD and finish writing up a thesis is 36 to 48 months. After that research councils apply a financial penalty to the university, which will have made Mr Kille rather unpopular with senior academics.
If a PhD student leaves the university without a final draft the odds of him ever completing his thesis and returning to defend it are not very good. His "Ph.D. thesis in progress" is therefore a more comfortable way of saying that he dropped out. |
