HELLO,

A PhD is an advanced academic degree focused on original research.

It typically takes 3-7 years to complete, depending on the field.

The goal is to contribute new knowledge to a specific area of study.

PhD research starts with a literature review to identify knowledge gaps.

A clear research question or hypothesis is developed to guide the study.

A defined methodology is chosen to collect and analyze data.

Data collection can involve experiments, surveys, or fieldwork.

Data analysis helps draw conclusions to answer the research question.

The research findings are written in a detailed dissertation.

The PhD concludes with a defense of the dissertation before a committee.
