What a PhD pays here (as of September 2026)

UK PhDs are usually funded as studentships: a stipend for living costs plus tuition fees, rather than a salary. For UKRI-funded students, the minimum stipend from 1 October 2026 is £21,805 a year full time, or £23,805 with London weighting.

Fees are the catch for international students. UKRI only contributes up to the value of home fee rates, so an international student may have to contribute to their fees. Read each advert for whether it covers international fees in full.

UKRI funding does not pay for visas or the immigration health surcharge (IHS).

Contract or stipend

A stipend, not a salary. A studentship pays a stipend and some or all of your tuition fees, and you are enrolled as a student rather than employed. Check whether it covers international fees or only the home rate before you apply.

How to apply from India in 5 steps

Find positions that fit your degree. Every open PhD position we track in the United Kingdom is listed on this page, updated every morning. Shortlist the ones whose required degree and skills match yours.
Read the advert line by line. Check eligibility, the required degree, language requirements, the documents asked for and the deadline before you write anything. Guide: Reading a PhD advert
Write a tailored cover letter and CV. One letter per position, written to what that group actually works on. A generic letter sent to many supervisors is easy to spot. Guide: Academic CV, Research Proposal
Apply exactly as the advert says. Some positions use an online portal, others ask you to email the supervisor directly. Follow the advert, and send it before the deadline. Guide: Emailing a Professor
Prepare for the interview. Shortlisted candidates are often interviewed online. Be ready to explain your past research clearly and to ask good questions back. Guide: Interview Prep

Questions students ask about PhDs in the United Kingdom

How much is the PhD stipend in the UK?

For UKRI-funded students, the minimum stipend from 1 October 2026 is £21,805 a year full time, or £23,805 with London weighting.

Do funded UK PhDs cover fees for international students?

Not always. UKRI only contributes up to the value of home fee rates, so an international student may have to contribute to their fees. Each advert says whether international fees are covered.

Does UK PhD funding pay for the student visa?

UKRI funding does not pay for visas or the immigration health surcharge (IHS). Budget for both separately.

Want a mentor who has done this?

Our PhD admission mentorship pairs you with a mentor who has secured a funded PhD position themselves — 27 mentors across 9 countries, and 335+ students helped so far. STEM subjects only.
