      I suppose once you’re finished your degree you’re a scientist so 4 years. Then it’s another 3-5 years to get those all import letters PhD which allow people to call themselves Dr… I don’t have that yet!!! Gimme a year

      Four years for BSc, 4.5 years for PhD, for me eight and a half years, longer than studying medicine!

      It depends on what you think a scientist is – you guys are all interested in learning how the world works so technically, you are all scientists already.

      But if you count it as having your degree, then for me, the same as the guys below – 4 years for BSc, and just over 3 and 1/2 for my PhD.
