Hi, just thought I should, how many hours do phd students spend on thair work i.e. is it 40hrs per week, 52 weeks per year for 3 years or more or less. I know it will vary depending on the PhD, however an average would be of great help. Thanks.

It was discussed in this forum before. Try these links
