PhD Scholarships for Uganda Students 2020 – FAQs
Can I do my PhD for free?
PhD studies seem free because you pay in your time, teaching or doing research. Free online PhD programs might be rare, but online PhDs can earn their own keep with flexibility, convenience, and affordability.
They may not be free, but online PhD programs are usually cheaper than on-campus PhDs, unless they’re fully funded.
Is a PhD worth it?
For most jobs, a PhD is unnecessary. If future income is a consideration, a PhD is worth little more than a master’s. According to Bernard Casey, who published a study on the economic contribution of PhDs, male PhDs earn 26% more than those who could have gone to university but did not.
