No, a UK PhD is not admissible under Article 49 of 2001/83/EC. Article 49 requires “the possession of a diploma, certificate or other evidence of formal qualifications awarded on completion of a university course of study”. As a PhD is a period of research, and not a taught course, it does not qualify towards fulfilment of this statement.
