I want one of these myself: The Royal Explorer's PhD. Offered by The Phd Consultancy, offices in London, Oxford, and Dubai, you have your own handpicked Oxbridge Aristotle who travels "with you to a series of exotic locations around the world where you will undertake primary research for your thesis." I wonder, will your Aristotle also be your valet as "you experience the very best of the gastronomy, music, architecture, history, literature and other cultural highlights of the regions that you visit"? And when the travel's over Aristotle will "help you to write up the research and guide you through the final academic stages of the thesis."
What fun.
No doubt one pays through the nose for this eduventure.
