Well, 13500£ per year in Sheffield is good? usually PhD students must pay university fee with their own studentship? thanks

YEAS!

Yes, 13500 is very good- I get 10 000 and I thik Sheffield is not as expensive as Brighton. You do not have to pay any university fee from this money.

Is this a question? - If so 13000 a year in Sheffield is plenty to live on. If this grant is from a UK research council, then you will not need to pay your own fees as they will also pay those for you (at the home student rate). If you are not a UK/EU student then you will probably need to pay the difference between the home and international fees.

Sheffield is a great place and the home of FindAPhD.
