How PhDs are usually funded

Typical pattern
Scholarship / studentship

PhDs are usually funded by scholarships that cover tuition and a living stipend.

This is the general pattern for the country, not a guarantee. Funding varies by university, field and nationality — always confirm on the official page.

UKRI gives training grants to providers (universities, institutes and other research organisations), which use them to offer studentships; students cannot apply directly to UKRI and apply to the provider offering the studentship. The provider is funded towards tuition fees and the student receives a stipend.
