You only just started a PhD and won't be addressed by any title. You should know this: You're only a PhD student if you're still in your coursework. You make the transition from PhD student to PhD candidate (or 'in-view' as it is fondly called in Nigeria) after you complete all your coursework and your comprehensive exams. A PhD candidate’s sole task is to conduct their research and write their dissertation. You would be addressed as a Dr. after you have defended your PhD dissertation successfully. I hope this helps. 2 Likes 1 Share |

joyandfaith: Most modern lawyers educated in USA have Doctor Juris or JD including Obama, Clinton, etc. You never hear anyone call them Dr. Worse is honorary doctor degree holders using Dr everywhere. By convention, if you have an honorary degree, it should be: Mr Otapiapia Gbudugbudupreye DLitt (hc) Mrs Otutukpoyoyo Shekaugida Sambisa PhD (honoris causa) Otunba Ogedengbe Onyeagbulam Fapohunda. DSc (ad honorem) hc = honoris causa and equivalent to ad honorem, although ad honorem is not that commonly used these days. They are used mostly as suffixes. But in 9ja, we must prefix names with big titles. You see Engr, Arc, Pharm, Buildr, etc. Buildr for builder as a title cracked me up lately. What next, Herb (herbalist) Tradr (trader) or Posop (POS operator)? Op, PhD student is the current description. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

3-4 years...not all Ph.D. programs involve coursework. Some are purely research-based. It depends on your institution. The time of strike should be used to complete your 200-250 page dissertation or less. That is why it is advisable to do the Ph.D. in Europe...not the US, please. Organs: 2 Likes |

Please, MPhil is another program entirely in-between Masters and Doctorate. It is an advanced postgraduate degree short for Master of Philosophy and purely research-based. It is mostly undertaken by those who are on their way to Ph.D. Mostly used to determine your research skills or upgrade your master's score grade so as to be eligible for a Ph.D. program.

Gentlerespect76:What does that even mean? Anyway, me sef, I'm "Dangote in view". @op, You don't call yourself anything - stop trying to use a title you don't have yet. If you're required to state your qualifications, state the ones you already have. If you're required to state your ongoing engagements, state that you're a "Ph.D. candidate in so and so". |

ejimatic: Your information is not based on real-time education industry experience. In academics today, if you are applying for an Assistant Lecturer position with a PhD in view on your CV, you mile's ahead of other applicants who have not started. In academics it is called evidence of PhD registration; anyone in the system knows this. So please it means something to the industry but people outside the industry do not know. You hear? 1 Like |

Gentlerespect76:. Something is called added advantage in academics. That was in those days. I am talking about reality not ideology. In essence I am saying you should know how to play your game in academics for PhD in view does not change anything in the academic market. It is whom you know.Regretably PhD holders roam about in Nigeria now with many in secondary schools. I wish those on the program well . It will give them their desired Jobs. |
