how much does a ph.d. get paid?

G

I would like to have some idea of how much a ph.d student get per month?

I have got an offer but do not know if I should negotiate for the monthly stipend.

Any advise? Thanks a lot.

I get 10 000£ per year or 820 £ a month. Between 8 000 and 12 ooo £ per year is normal. What makes you think you can negotiate your stipend? It is normaly a fixed rate by the funding organisation - take it or leave it.

Between 8 000 and 12 ooo £ per year is normal...........Between 8 000 and 12 ooo £ per year its 40% different cretino!!

Yepp,
but you either decide according to who pays more or which lab has a better reputation or the project that interests you more. You won't get rich during your PhD. Its take it or leave it. If you want those 40% more then go for a 12 000 stipend.

You won't be able to negotiate your grant. If you don't think it's enough you'll have to turn it down flat and look for a PhD with a better studentship. CAST and CASE awards usually pay the most.

My uni is positively stingy by these standards, I only got £5500.00 Crap!!

G

5500£- Not a lot!
My rent in Brighton alone is 310£ a month, and it isn't a mansion! Do you work somewhere besides your PhD to make ends meet, Anon2??

G

G

My CASE studentship is £14500 Im reslly happy with this as some of my friends are on much less

G
