incorporated changes to the payments of stipends duringmaternitypaternityadoption leave and periods of illness

This change in policy will be for all URS funded PGR students not just those who startafter the change in policy however these payments cannot be made retrospectively forperiods of interruption that begin before 1 September 2019
Paid BusinessIndustry Placements for PhD students in theSocial Sciences Announcing a fantastic opportunity for ANY University of Plymouth PhD candidate in theSocial Sciences to engage in a paid BusinessIndustry Placement of between three and sixmonths during the next academic year This placement will be funded by the ESRC(Economic and Social Research Council) South West Doctoral Training Partnership(SWDTP) - however you do NOT have to be funded by the SWDTP to take advantage ofit

If accepted you will receive a Placement Grant at the same rate as the UKRI stipend forthat period of time (the current annual rate is pound14777) If you are already an ESRC-fundedstudent your stipend will cease while in receipt of a Placement Grant but will be extendedby the same amount of time as your placement Other students may interrupt their studiesfor the period of the placement and this time will be added to the end of their PhDregistration period
Unfortunately the Doctoral College is unable to organise a placement for you You areexpected to work with your supervisory team to identify and negotiate a placementopportunity
