Turkey, officially the Republic of Turkey, is a transcontinental country, located mostly on Anatolia in Western Asia and on East Thrace in Southeastern Europe. Many Turkish universities (both public and private) are participating in pan-European student exchange programs (Socrates, Erasmus, and the like). Some also have agreements with non-European universities, too.

The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree.

That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
