NEW: We're increasing our minimum student stipend by 10% from 1 October 2022. Full details: https://t.co/hhmtX95OVW

[Geraint Rees @profgeraintrees]

Excellent news for @UKRI_News PhD students: 10% increase in the minimum stipend for 22/23 just announced.

Will likely have consequences for the future (fewer studentships) and for universities (major increase in costs) but it is the right thing to do.
