I have publications in Cosmology and would like to collect them in a PhD thesis, but not to do it in 3-5 years as usual PhD students are doing depends on the University/Institute. I heard, that there is a possibility to get a PhD degree based on publications and it can be done particularly in UK.
I wonder if can someone help and share information with me on this issue, please?
I will be appreciated if You can point out also other possibilities awarding PhD degree not in usual way, please
