For the Italian law is not possible to have in the same time the status of "Master student" and "PhD Student". I should finish the master in July 2016 (the MS is 2 years in Italy) but the professor asked me to start the PhD in October 2015.
So If I start the PhD I might continue the MS after that I complete the PhD. But I don't know if at that point, having a PhD, is worth it waste time to complete the MS in the same field!
I know that for the UK law is not important to have the MS for continue the career, I just want to know if in other European countries I could have bureaucratic problem if I don't have the MS.
Thank you very much!
