18/01/2018

Research Councils UK (RCUK) has announced doctoral stipend levels and indicative fees for 2018.

• National Minimum Doctoral Stipend for 2018/19 is £14,777
• Research Council UK Indicative Fee Level for 2018/19 is £4,260

The minimum stipend will increase in line with the GDP deflator and this remains the start-point for determining minimum stipend levels and this gives the national minimum doctoral stipend for 2018/19 as £14,777.

The indicative fee level for 2018/19 will increase in line with the GDP deflator and this gives £4,260. For planning purposes, research organisations should note that whilst the GDP deflator remains the basis for determining indicative fee levels, it will remain under review.
