i was just wandering how much £££ you are awarded for a pHD studentship in biological sciences. forgive me if this sounds like a stupid question, but i'm still not clued up on all the funding malarky!

hello sim, the studentship should be at research council rate!!!

I think the minimum you will get is ~£900 a month.

From Sir Gareth Robert's Review: - this year (04/05) a minimum of £10,500 pa, and for 2005/06 a minimum of £12,000 p/a.

Don't forget your studentship will be tax free and that you can also boost your income with demonstrating or tutorial work - this money will also be tax free up to your income tax personal allowance.
