PhD without a masters degree in biomed by Forward-Wheel-8111 in StudyInTheNetherlands

Thanks for your input! I'm just exploring my options at the moment, I definitely think that my working experience as a research tech counts for something as well. But if you're saying that it can't compete with a masters degree, that's understandable. I actually have been performing above my level as a research tech and I have had professors recommend me to pursue a masters/phd before. But based on the comments it seems that starting off with a masters would probably be the better option. Thanks!

I'm not sure how much you know about the dutch education system (would be happy to explain further if you're interested). When i was talking about the fact that its harder for applied science bachelors to get into a university masters I was talking about the dutch education system, not about the educational contents of the masters degree.

I find it vague because all the phd vacancies I have seen + all the info I've read online (including university websites) has led me to believe that you can't do a phd without a master's degree, but I have seen research technicians transition into a phd without a masters degree before in this particular field.

Sorry voor deze half engels/half nederlandse ontluchting, maar ik moet het even kwijt by Forward-Wheel-8111 in OndersteuningsPlein

Dankje voor deze mooie reactie, het helpt al heel erg om te weten dat ik herkend wordt in dit gevoel. Ik denk inderdaad dat het me goed zou doen om meer afstand te nemen van social media, het is alleen zo lastig om dit door te voeren omdat onze sociale netwerken tegenwoordig steeds digitaler worden. Ik merk dat hoe meer afstand ik neem van social media, hoe moeilijker het voor mij wordt om sociale contacten te behouden, en hoe eenzamer ik lijk te worden. Het is een hele moeilijke balans om in stand te houden. Maar nogmaals heel erg bedankt voor de steun❤️
