In many countries, PhD study takes up to 3 years whereas in others about 5 years. In some countries it can run for 7 to 12 years. What then is the appropriate duration of a PhD study. What causes the delay in these other countries where the study drags on forever?
On the other hand, is a 1 and half year to 2 years PhD unethical. If so can it explained?.
The minimum number of years in Nigeria is 3 years. However, most students do not finish in record time due to logistics such as finances, technical knowhow, experimental designs, sampling difficulties, student-supervisor altercations and so many other factors. Some student wait between 4 - 10 years in some cases, while some tend to abandon the programme after several years of retrogression. I think 3 years should be the standard, not less, not more, for all the phases (field, laboratory, writing and presentations) involved.
I think that 3 years is enough for active student to finish PhDif protocol and finical support is clear
