Choosing to dedicate the next few years of your life towards a PhD is no light decision. Not only will it require you to dedicate an extensive amount of your personal time, but you’ll also need to consider how you’ll fund it. This raises the question, how much does a PhD cost in the UK?
The cost of a PhD can be divided into three key areas; tuition fees, living expenses and research expenditures. The combined cost of these are approximately £20,000 per year for UK students and can increase to over £40,000 per year for international students. A more in-depth breakdown of these costs can be found below. We’ve also compared these costs to other countries and outlined the various methods available to you to fund your PhD studies.
For UK ‘home’ students, the tuition fee for a PhD varies between £3,000 to £6,000 per academic year. For 2023/24 programmes, most universities opt for £4,712 per year within this range. Although this number may seem a little odd, it’s commonly adopted due to being the indicative rate set by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) for UK universities.
Unlike for UK applicants, the rates for international students don’t align with the indicative level set by UKRI. Following the implementation of Brexit, EU students now follow the same fee rates as other international students. International students will find that their tuition fees are higher than those of home students. For example, at the time of writing, the average annual PhD tuition charge at the University of Dundee is £4,825 for home students undertaking an Engineering PhD. This same average is £25,305 for international students.
International applicants will also find that the fee for PhDs in STEM subjects are greater than those in non-STEM subjects. For example, at the University of Bristol, a doctorate degree in Mechanical Engineering costs £25,300 per year whilst a doctorate in Medieval Studies costs £20,100 per year.
To summarise, international students can expect a tuition fee of between £16,000 to £25,000 per year, with an average of around £19,600 per academic year. Non-STEM subjects will generally be at the lower end of the range, whilst STEM subjects will be at the higher end of the range.
The above fees are based on full-time postgraduate study. If you’re doing a part-time PhD, you can expect the fee to be half of these amounts. Although this may appear to be a cheaper option, keep in mind that the average duration of part-time PhDs are twice that of full-time PhDs. Therefore, the total tuition cost will amount to the same value and the end of both courses.
Research support fees.
If your research project requires a high use of consumables, equipment or other resources, you may have to support the cost of these through an additional annual fee. This additional annual fee, often referred to as either a ‘research support’ or ‘bench’ fee, often apply to laboratory-based STEM research projects. Bench fees vary between different projects, even those within the same field. Therefore, it is best to speak to the admissions team on a project-by-project basis to receive anything useful.
Another cost you will need to account for is travelling. As part of your degree, many supervisors will expect you to attend conferences, training workshops, or other collaboration opportunities. As a result, you will often need to travel to various destinations which aren’t always limited to the UK. Although some programmes will cover these costs, it’s not unheard of that some positions will expect you to fund this yourself. It’s impossible to put a value on this, as the extent of travel depends on each project. Therefore, it would be wise to speak with the admissions team and current PhD students. They can provide you with an accurate estimate and let you know whether the university will cover the expenses.
When you’re enrolled into a PhD programme, you will be given a period to complete your PhD within. This period is known as your ‘registration period’ and is usually 3-4 years for a full-time PhD and 6-7 years for a part-time PhD. If you’re given an extension due to not completing your PhD study within this time, you will need to pay an overtime registration fee. Although the amount depends on each university, the University of Leeds sets theirs as £290 for 2023/24.
From a 2022 survey of over 2,300 university students , the average living cost, covering expenditures such as rent, bills, food and recreation, was £924 per month. This equates to £11,088 per year.
Although this is an average cost, your true cost of living will depend on your location. Living in major cities such as London will draw significantly higher rent and travel costs than living in more rural locations. Although your living situation will in large be driven by the university you undertake your PhD with, you should factor it in when deciding which universities to apply to.
To put this into perspective, the survey average of £11,088 per year uses a rent average of £418 per month. In London, this average increases to £650 a month and can surpass £1,000 if staying in university halls or private student accommodation. This is supported by University College London (UCL) who state you should expect an average rent of £1,028 per month if living in private accommodation around their university.
Tip – You can use this handy calculator for an estimated average cost of living for any UK university. All you need to do is select the university, and the calculator does all the rest.
If you’re an international student, you should factor in return flights back home. Although this may seem like a small expenditure compared to tuition fees and rent, they can add up quickly depending on the frequency and distance of your trip.
Finding a PhD has never been this easy – search for a PhD by keyword, location or academic area of interest.
Studentships.
A studentship is a form of scholarship for doctoral students. They can either be partially funded, which cover tuition fees only, or fully funded, which also covers living costs through a ‘stipend’.
Studentships can be found in various places. Research Councils (RCUK) and European Social Fund (ESF) make funding available to university departments, who in turn make the funding available to doctoral students. Therefore, you will find that there are many postgraduate funding opportunities available to you, with the best places to look being the RCUK and ESF websites and the university departments themselves. External institutions which focus on research and development such as research trusts and charities would also be a useful place to look for a funded PhD.
If you’re a UK student, you may qualify for a Postgraduate Doctoral Loan from Student Finance England. This form of financial aid is available for nearly all postgraduate research degrees undertaken in a higher education setting. They will allow you to borrow up to a total of £28,673 for 2023/24 courses .
Graduate Teaching Assistantships are a form of studentships which allow you to teach undergraduates as part of your research degree. This not only helps improve your academic skills, but it also enables you to receive a salary whilst you’re studying. As well as teaching assistantships, some departments also provide opportunities for demonstrations, marking papers, and tutorial support. The amount you can earn through these schemes will depend on how many hours you work and what agreements you make with your supervisor or course leader.
A research student may opt for a part-time PhD as opposed to a full-time one. Although this would double the duration of their studies, it allows them to take on a part-time job to improve their financial situation. For students going down this route, it would be highly beneficial to pick up a part-time role in a position related to your industry. This will help refine your skills and increase your employability within this career role should you choose to pursue it after your degree.
If you’re an international student, keep in mind that you’ll likely be on a study visa. Therefore, there’ll be certain restrictions on what you can and can’t do alongside your study.
When considering the tuition fee of PhDs across different countries, the United Kingdom is generally considered as being in the ‘middle-ground‘ region.
A handful of countries offer PhD programmes for free. These include, but are not limited to, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, Norway and Poland.
The middle-ground region comprises countries such as Austria, Spain, Russia and New Zealand where postgraduate fees range from £1,400 to £4,000 per academic year.
The upper-end region comprises countries such as Hong Kong and the United States, where postgraduate tuition fees for a PhD student can go up to £33,000 per year.

‘rising stars’ invited to apply for prestigious research posts before 19 september 2024.
Our Research Fellowships open doors for rising stars – Nobel Prize-winners have begun their academic careers at St John’s, one Research Fellow coined the phrase ‘Big Bang’, and another was a Bletchley Park code-breaker.
The research interests of St John’s Fellows remain as extensive as ever – they are working at the forefront of everything from artificial intelligence, and evolutionary biology, to the psychology of social media.
We are now inviting applications for the 2025 Research Fellowship awards, with a starting date of 1 October 2025. These prestigious awards offer a rare opportunity for you to devote yourself to independent research in a stimulating and supportive academic environment, for up to four years.
We place great importance on the intellectual contribution our Research Fellows make to St John’s, and on creating the conditions to accelerate your progress towards an outstanding academic career.
The College is offering up to four Research Fellowship awards in the 2025 competition.
We accept applications from a graduate of any university within or outside the United Kingdom, and welcome applications from all academic disciplines, to sustain a diverse community of award-holders.
Our Research Fellowship awards are for early-career academics. Successful candidates will normally either be postdoctoral researchers who have been awarded their PhD within the last two years or graduate students in the latter stages of research leading to a PhD.
Candidates holding a fellowship or other postdoctoral stipend (for example, awarded by a research council or other similar body) may apply, noting that any stipend or other funding received will be deducted from the Research Fellowship award.
Holders of a Fellowship at a Cambridge college may not apply. Candidates who accept a Fellowship from another Cambridge college will be deemed to have withdrawn from St John’s College’s Research Fellowship competition.
We typically receive between 600 and 800 eligible applications for Research Fellowship awards. Information about our current Research Fellows can be found in our Research Fellows’ Directory .
Terms of the award and accompanying fellowship.
The award offers a research stipend of £31,396 to £33,966 per annum for up to four years, and award-holders are elected to a Research Fellowship for this period. Award-holders are permitted to receive additional pay for up to six hours' College or University teaching a week.
Research Fellows benefit from up to £10,000 in additional grants over their four-year tenure. These grants support the costs of academic materials, travel expenses, computer equipment, books and, where appropriate, the expense of extended periods of research outside Cambridge. Additionally, during their four-year tenure, we offer up to £5,700 towards the costs of organising a conference or workshop in St John’s.
Research Fellows can choose to live in College in single residential accommodation, with charges applying for services and supplies. Research Fellows who live outside College, including those who live with their partner/family, are eligible for a housing allowance worth up to £34,800 over their four-year tenure. This allowance is paid monthly and is capped at 50% of rent paid. Research Fellows living outside St John’s will have an office in College. Fellowships are held on condition of residence within the University of Cambridge, ie within 20 miles of the centre of Cambridge.
Research Fellows are also entitled to take one meal each day in College, at College expense.
Subject to circumstances, we will consider:
For more than 500 years, St John’s has flourished as an independent and self-determining academic community. We approach our mission to advance education, learning and research with an unwavering commitment to academic freedom, excellence, and integrity.
We are committed to sustaining and enhancing the College’s global renown for scholarship across a wide range of disciplines, and we are regarded as a beacon of academic excellence.
St John’s is a friendly, warm, and welcoming place. The College is held in deep affection by its members, who include around 155 Fellows, 550 undergraduate and 300+ postgraduate students, some 13,000 alumni worldwide, and 250 staff. Our community is a tolerant, inclusive, caring and respectful meritocracy, with genuine joie de vivre . We cherish the diversity of experience, culture, and perspective in members of the College, and the way this enriches our learning and our lives. We seek to balance how we fulfil our purposes today with our stewardship responsibilities for future generations in the College, and for the wellbeing of our planet.
Our Research Fellows play an important role in the Fellowship and the College, and we place great importance in helping them to establish strong foundations for an outstanding academic career. This includes providing a mentor to support their research progress and an invaluable annual touchpoint with the expert academics on our Research Committee.
Once elected, our Research Fellows have full voting rights, and their voices make a valued contribution to the governance of the College.

Population health sciences.
Currently working as a Research Scientist at the TORCH Lab in the Division of Epidemiology in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine.
I received my Master of Public Policy from the Program of Public Affairs and my PhD from the Department of Population Health Sciences, with an emphasis in Health Systems Research at the University of Utah in 2024.
Brief autobiography
Before entering the MPP / PHS PhD program, I earned a bachelor of sciences in exercise and sports sciences from the University of Utah, with a minor in the sociology of health and medicine. While in the dual degree program, I worked as a teaching assistant in the Program of Public Affairs and as a research assistant for the Department of Population Health Sciences. In that work, I gained significant experience researching immigration-based health care disparities, early childhood nursing programs, COVID-19 vaccine uptake, and mental health care. This work helped me further develop my interests in mental health care and health care disparities, which I pursued in my dissertation research under Fernando Wilson. After graduating, I began work as a research scientist in the TORCH lab at the University of Utah School of Medicine, where I study veterans’ neurological and mental health.
My experience in the program
I entered the first cohort of students in the dual degree program in 2018. There are a lot of points of synergy in studying public policy and health services research simultaneously. The PhD program gave me many research skills I would not have learned studying public policy alone. Studying public policy gave me an understanding of the legal and regulatory structure of health care systems that the population health sciences program, alone, would not have given me. I loved the way that studying both sharpened my focus on health services research with real world policy applications. I completed my masters capstone on the transportation accessibility of Utah mental health care facilities by public transit under the direction of Phillip Singer. This was just the beginning of an interest in health geography.
In my research assistant work with Dr. Wilson, I gained significant experience applying statistical methods to theories, both of which I had learned separately in my coursework. In particular, we studied health care disparities impacting immigrants, women, racial and ethnic minorities, and veterans.
All these things lead me to my dissertation topic. I studied variability in racial/ethnic mental health care disparities. Although I also studied variation over time, I was particularly interested in geographic variation in those disparities, and in the role geography-related variables played in the disparities. I examined area deprivation, drive time to care, residence in historically or currently racially segregated areas, health care provider shortage areas, rurality. To keep my work relevant to both health services research and public policy, the outcomes I examined were 1) clinically appropriate mental health care utilization and 2) receipt of financial assistance for mental health care through legally-required charity care programs. The work was done using electronic health records data from University of Utah Health. You can see that I integrated many of the interests I developed during the dual degree program.
My favorite course
My favorite courses were Public Policy Theory & Application taught by Lina Svedin (and which I later TA-ed for with Morgon Lyon-Cotti as the professor), Health Economics from Norm Waitzman, and Comparative Health Systems from Rachel Hess. These three courses were really where I learned most about the way that public policy shapes health care systems and health outcomes. They provided me with the foundation of my understanding about how and why health care systems function.
Some of my research experience
The bulk of my research experience came from my work as a research assistant. One favorite project was using secondary data and systematic review to examine relationships between health and employment in veterans. Another favorite was examining mental health status and the mental health care system in Utah. I did significant work mapping Utah mental health care facilities that provide specific mental health services, trying to understand the geographic distribution of those services across the state. Also for that project, I examined unique data describing substance use disorder stigma and its predictors in Utah.
What I enjoyed most about the program
I loved the coursework and dissertation phases of the program for different reasons. Having been in school for a long time, I’m very comfortable in a classroom and really enjoyed learning directly from experts. The self-directedness of the dissertation phase was uncomfortable and new for me—although that’s part of the point. I benefitted a lot from learning how to work more independently on my own ideas, with support from experts instead of instruction from them.
How I’m prepared for my next step
My next step is as a research scientist researching veterans’ health. I think the most important things the dual degree program did were 1) giving me a foundational understanding of public policy, health care systems, and research methods, and 2) teaching me how to add to that foundation on my own. In other words, I learned how to learn more. As I go forward in my work and inevitably find myself in need of researching in new areas or applying new methods, I’m confident that I can learn what I need to make it happen
My advice for future students
My advice for other students would be to meet everyone you can in the department—students, postdoctoral trainees, staff, professors—and talk to them about what they’re interested in. This can really help you understand the almost unimaginably wide world of possible research work in population health sciences and, from there, narrow in on what you’re interested in.

From school to university, education in the UK is divided into, and defined by, levels. These levels are set as a standard which means the nature and volume of study at a certain level will be the same everywhere. England, Wales and Northern Ireland follow the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and Scotland follows the Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework (SCQF) .
There are eight total levels (numbered 1-8) defined in the RQF and 12 total levels (numbered 1-12) defined in the SCQF. For this guide, we’ll be focussing on higher education levels (Level 4 and above) only. Higher education is defined as study undertaken after completing school, typically taking place in universities and colleges.
Here’s everything you need to know about what the different higher education levels are, what qualifications fall under each level, and how the Scottish levels compare to the rest of the UK.
What are the different higher education levels.
Higher education levels are numbered 4-8 and cover everything between Certificates of Higher Education (CertHE) to a PhD. Before we move on, there is one thing we need to clarify. The level of education is simply a classification for different qualifications, they determine the difficulty, depth and outcome of study.
Let’s see what qualifications fall under each higher education level.
Level 4 qualifications are the first step into higher education and the first level after secondary education (Levels 1-3). They often act as a bridge between school and university. Some examples of Level 4 qualifications are:
Level 5 qualifications set you up for higher university degrees, giving you knowledge of a subject that goes beyond school and secondary education. Some examples of Level 5 qualifications are:
Level 6 qualifications are earned at the degree level. The most common qualification earned at Level 6 is a Bachelors degree. It is the first step for those looking to pursue a Masters degree . Some examples of Level 6 qualifications are:
A Level 7 qualification is equivalent to a Masters degree . If you’re looking to build in-depth knowledge of a subject, a Level 7 degree is the way to go. It is also the penultimate qualification level (for outside of Scotland), becoming a common stepping stone for those wanting to pursue a PhD . Some examples of Level 7 qualifications are:
The highest level of education (outside of Scotland), a Level 8 qualification, is equivalent to a PhD and other doctoral degrees . Once completed, you’ll have become a fully qualified doctor (although not medically, unless that’s been your degree of choice). Some examples of Level 8 qualifications are:
Like the RQF in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the SCQF is the name of the structure of qualifications in Scotland. It’s similar to the RQF and recognises the same qualifications but the SCQF is made up of 12 levels.
Here’s how the SCQF levels compare to the ones used in the rest of the UK.
RQF Level | SCQF Level | Qualification |
---|---|---|
Level 4 | Level 7 | Certificates of Higher Education |
Level 5 | Level 8 | Diplomas of Higher Education Higher National Diplomas |
Level 6 | Level 9 | Bachelors degree Graduate Diplomas Graduate Certificates |
Level 10 | Bachelors degree with Honours | |
Level 7 | Level 11 | Masters degree PG Cert PG Dip |
Level 8 | Level 12 | PhD and other doctoral degrees |
The levels of education are hierarchical which means the volume and complexity of study increases with each level. So, you’re also likely to move from one level to the next. For example, you’re likely to move from a Bachelors to a Masters to a PhD. However, there are exceptions to this rule as it is possible to jump from a Bachelors to a PhD .
There is no rule on studying at a lower level than, or the same level as, your last qualification. So, you should be able to study another PhD even if you’ve already completed one. However, you’ll need to consider the costs (you’ll not be able to get another PhD loan if you already have a PhD) and any visa restrictions if you’re an international student. Remember, a second similar degree is a big commitment so make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons.
You’ll often find these education levels mentioned in course entry requirements and job requirements, so it’s important to understand how they work. They are also a good indicator for how an international qualification matches to ones in the UK. However, check with your university first about how your international qualification translates to the UK system before committing to anything.
Now that you know what these education levels are and hopefully have an idea about what you’re aiming for, find your perfect Level 8 qualification on FindAPhD.com .
