Overview: PhD literally stands for Doctor of Philosophy. The initials can also be written as Ph.D. This is the most advanced degree that requires generally 3-8 years of study beyond receiving Bachelor's degree. However, the term PhD is a misnomer. It is not necessary for PhD candidates to study only philosophy as the degree's initial stand for. In fact, many candidates study some other science or different liberal fields related to arts. The title of 'Doctor' is also not always used, and in countries like US, it is essentially honorary. Frequently, teachers having degree of PhD are labeled as 'Professor' so as not to get confused with medical doctors.
