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!

Hi, I'm doing my master in Computer Science in Italy.
After a period of Eramsus in UK the professor asked me to do a funded PhD with him without finish the master.
Is it good to start a PhD without the master?
Will be my PhD acknowledged in other countries without the master for a post-doc position or for continue with the academic carrer?
