I'm curious, how does it work in the US?

In Europe, you first study 3 years to get a bachelor's degree, then 2 more years for a master's degree (or an engineer degree), then you apply for a PhD which is supposed to last 3 years.

In natural sciences they do last 3 years in general, in human sciences they are usually quite longer.

This varies within Europe as well, for example in Hungary our bachelor was 3.5 years, the master 2, and the PhD 4.
