At most Canadian universities, the time needed to complete a PhD degree typically ranges from four to six years. It is, however, not uncommon for students to be unable to complete all the requirements within six years, particularly given that funding packages often support students for only two to four years; many departments will allow program extensions at the discretion of the thesis supervisor or department chair. Alternative arrangements exist whereby a student is allowed to let their registration in the program lapse at the end of six years and re-register once the thesis is completed in draft form. The general rule is that graduate students are obligated to pay tuition until the initial thesis submission has been received by the thesis office.

Sweden currently has two research-level degrees, the Licentiate's degree, which is comparable to the Danish degree formerly known as the Licentiate's degree and now as the ph.d., and the higher doctorate of philosophy, <i>Filosofie Doktor</i>. Some universities in Sweden also use the term <i>teknologie doktor</i> for doctorates awarded by institutes of technology (for doctorates in engineering or natural science related subjects such as materials science, molecular biology, computer science etc.).

As this includes the MRes all deadlines and timeframes are brought forward to encourage completion of both MRes and PhD within four years from commencement. These programs are designed to provide students with a greater range of skills than a standard PhD, and for the university, they are a means of gaining an extra years' fees from public sources. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Other_doctorates">Other doctorates</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Doctor_of_Philosophy&amp;action=edit&amp;section=54" title="Edit section: Other doctorates"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Some UK universities (e.g. Oxford) abbreviate their Doctor of Philosophy degree as "DPhil", while most use the abbreviation "PhD"; but these are stylistic conventions, and the degrees are in all other respects equivalent. </p><p>In the United Kingdom, PhD degrees are distinct from other doctorates, most notably the <a href="/wiki/Higher_doctorate" class="mw-redirect" title="Higher doctorate">higher doctorates</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Doctor_of_Letters" title="Doctor of Letters">DLitt</a> (Doctor of Letters) or <a href="/wiki/Doctor_of_Science" title="Doctor of Science">DSc</a> (Doctor of Science), which may be granted on the recommendation of a committee of examiners on the basis of a substantial portfolio of submitted (and usually published) research.

There is much literature available, such as Delamont, Atkinson, and Parry (1997). Dinham and Scott (2001) have argued that the worldwide growth in research students has been matched by the increase in the number of what they term "how-to" texts for both students and supervisors, citing examples such as Pugh and Phillips (1987). These authors report empirical data on the benefits to a PhD candidate from publishing; students are more likely to publish with adequate encouragement from their supervisors. </p><p>Wisker (2005) has reported that research into this field distinguishes two models of supervision: The technical-rationality model of supervision, emphasising technique; and the negotiated order model, which is less mechanistic, emphasising fluid and dynamic change in the PhD process. These two models were first distinguished by Acker, Hill and Black (1994; cited in Wisker, 2005). Considerable literature exists on the expectations that supervisors may have of their students (Phillips &amp; Pugh, 1987) and the expectations that students may have of their supervisors (Phillips &amp; Pugh, 1987; Wilkinson, 2005) in the course of PhD supervision. Similar expectations are implied by the Quality Assurance Agency's Code for Supervision (Quality Assurance Agency, 1999; cited in Wilkinson, 2005). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="PhD_in_the_workforce">PhD in the workforce</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Doctor_of_Philosophy&amp;action=edit&amp;section=63" title="Edit section: PhD in the workforce"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>PhD graduates represent a relatively small, elite group within most countries — around 1.1% of adults among OECD countries.<sup id="cite_ref-166" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-166"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>166<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Slovenia, Switzerland and Luxembourg have higher numbers of PhD Graduates per capita as illustrated here.
