I am a bit confused as to the concept of a Phd. You pay the institution tuition fees for letting you do a PhD in there university and then if you get a studentship the funding body pays you weekly/monthly for doing the PhD as well? So if you manage to get a full scholarship for the tuition fees and a studenship under a good supervisor, you could manage to earn money while doing a PhD? please someone clarify my point. Am i right? Is this possible?
I've just took an offer on a fully funded phd studentship and it covers fees, plus 12K tax free 'salary' and some funds for travelling and analysis etc. I thnk this is the usual but there may be differences depending on who's funding you. Check out the websites of the funding bodies for more details. HTH
