I got an offer at Staffordshire starting August 7th, with a very generous studentship of 12,000 - so i've been so happy. We only ever corresponded via email, but i got a written confirmation through the post today. In it it says the 12,000 will cover both my tuition and living expenses. I'm guessing a phd tuition fee will be about 10,000 a year or there abouts - so i might need a job to eat and pay the rent? What does the EPSRC cover exactly?
If you are a UK or EU (or EEA student) then your fees will be normally around £3,500 a year (some subjects have bench fees as well). An international student would pay more in fees (but £10,000 a year does sound very high!). If it were say £3,500, the £12,000 would be tax free so you would have £8,500 to live on: nor rich by any means, but enough to live a modest living. You might be able to supplement it by teaching or by part time work, but most funding comes with a limit to how much paid work you can take on.
Hello all - Happy New yr!
I was wondering - if you are funded by the AHRC can you then apply for the *EPRC funding?
*You know the funding body I am refering to - it begins with E.
Thanks
