PhD Studentship Stipend Rates

The Trustees review the value of the PhD Studentship Stipend on a regular basis. The current and past values are noted below.

The Administering Institution must undertake to make arrangements to collect the External Partner Organisation’s (EPO’s) stipend top-up and the Principal Supervisor must ensure the stipend top-up is received from the External Partner Organisation and the student is paid their full annual stipend.
