Ph.D. students, who are the main force in scientific research, often mock themselves as "scientific research workers." After all, the income level of doctoral students does not even reach the average social salary level of urban employees.

Prime Minister Li Keqiang once said: "If you don't give money to students, what will you do with it?" At present, the state, local governments and universities are actively taking measures to increase the support for doctoral students. Funding intensity.

The following is true sharing from a doctoral student. Let’s take a quick look at how big the gap in earnings is between PhD students at different universities.

High-end version (annual income 50,000-100,000)

A doctorate from Conan University of Science and Technology is 8,333 per month, 100,000 per year is really high, and the life is comfortable, hahaha.

2. Master's and doctoral degrees from Southern University of Science and Technology of China

Southern University of Science and Technology's master's degree is 50,000 per year, and the Ph.D. is 100,000 per year. Grants issued by research groups are calculated separately, and awards for papers in each department are calculated separately.

When I was studying for a Ph.D., I already had an annual salary of 250,000 (I got some money as a thesis award)? There is really no harm in not comparing. Who can say that I don’t envy this annual salary? Who can believe it!

SUSTech Ph.D. 8333 per month. Are you serious? A doctorate in engineering from Tsinghua University only costs 4,310 per month.

The average monthly salary of a classical doctor is 5,000-6,000, and there is no upper limit on the number of projects.

5. Candidate for PhD at Harbin Institute of Technology.

The basic scholarship for doctoral students from the Harbin Institute of Technology Engineering Fund and Scientific Research Fund in 2021 is 50,000 yuan per year. (The basic scholarship amount for doctoral students in the Management Fund and Basic Fund is 43,000 yuan/student/year.

6. Doctoral students in the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Postgraduate scholarship 5,250 yuan* 12 Month = 63,000 yuan. A few outstanding candidates will receive national scholarships, director scholarships and other professional title scholarships.

7. Doctoral degree in science and engineering from Tsinghua University.

Tuition fees will be deducted. As a teaching assistant, the net salary is 6,600 yuan per month (almost everyone around you has a salary of 50,000 yuan a year).

8. PhD in Computer Science from Peking University.

In the end, you can get 4,000 yuan/month through school awards within two years. It is said that if there were school awards in the past, the laboratory would not give money, but this behavior has been banned since then, so when I graduated. (In the summer of 2017) the monthly salary was 5,300 yuan.

I felt like the accommodation was basically free, the food was so cheap, and I didn’t have to pay taxes. I was so happy, but at that time, I didn’t. I spend my time writing code and writing papers every day.

9. Doctor of Medicine from Fudan University

The state subsidy is 2,300/month, paid for ten months, the hospital subsidy is 1,800/month, and the tuition is refunded to 10,000 /year, the annual bonus is 40,000, and the duty fee is 300.

Help teachers who are not instructors collect specimens and do some small experiments. You can do this kind of work two or three times a year in the department. At the national annual meeting, my graduate students contributed 1,000. Calculated by the impact factor, the number of articles published by the end of the year was less than 10,000.

In general, although it is not many, I feel very comfortable. After all, as long as I work hard, everyone will respect my work.

10. Currently studying for a PhD in 985 universities in Central China, at the end of February 2021. Enrollment. In April, the March salary was paid, and the three-year aid subsidy was 6,100, not counting the 1,500 paid by the state every month (I heard that it will not be paid until the end of the semester); the April salary has not been paid yet, it should be 6500 or 6900 (three assistants have done hundreds more things), 6900 is the same as one. Bobo 3’s monthly subsidy is 500 more than Bo 1’s. It doesn’t matter if the three assistants are in the same department or in the same college. The difference is not too big. Different colleges in the same school vary greatly.

In 2019, the School of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China posted an enrollment announcement, guaranteeing an annual income of 100,000 yuan per person starting from the doctoral stage; Nankai University. According to the university, the best doctoral students in the school

2. Ph.D. students at f University can receive 15,000 academic scholarships and 01,600 * December graduate student grants. =34,200 yuan.

3. Doctoral students at Beijing Institute of Technology can receive 10,000 academic scholarships, 22,000 graduate student grants, and 10,000 research grants = 42,000 yuan.

Go for it

Hai Jiao Tong University Doctor of Liberal Arts

Studying for a PhD in liberal arts, the first two months are 1820 per month, and starting from the third month are 2320. At the beginning of the second semester, the school's salary increased to 3,320, and tutors began to receive a supplementary subsidy of 2,000 per month. I can earn several hundred yuan a month by working as my own assistant. There is no tuition fee, but the duration of study is four years. It will basically be postponed, and it will take four and a half years at the earliest.

5. Zhejiang University Ph.D. in Materials Science

The tuition fee is 10,000, which will be refunded in two installments, 5,000 each time. Before starting the Ph.D. 3 program, there will be a monthly subsidy of 2,400, of which 800 will be paid by the tutor. After the topic is established, the monthly subsidy is 3,400, of which 1,300 will be paid by the tutor.

The tuition fee for a master's degree is 8,000, which will be refunded in two installments, 1,000 per month, of which 300 will be paid by the tutor. There are many kinds of scholarships, but in terms of materials, to get a scholarship you must have an article.

6. Wuhan University Master of Science, Doctorate

Basically, the only subsidies received from the state are 500*12 for masters and 1835*12 for doctoral students. Because the subsidy for a master's degree is small, the tutor will give you two subsidies a year, totaling a little more than 3,000 yuan. Doctors don't give it.

If you post an article, the tutor will give you 1-3K according to the grade. In addition, there are various scholarships, mainly national awards and academic scholarships. Only a very small number of people can get the national award. Academic scholarships are used to pay tuition fees and are divided into three categories. The third category is just the tuition fee. The first and second categories are 6,000 and 3,000 more respectively, accounting for 30% of the total number.

So for the vast majority of PhD students, there is only a fixed monthly national subsidy of 1,835. This is the situation of our research group.

7. A full-time engineering doctoral student in Tongji

The monthly subsidy is 3,200, and the tutor will also provide additional transportation subsidies. There is a subsidy at the end of the year (it is not convenient to disclose the amount). If you do There is an additional 800 for assistant management or teaching assistants. In addition, additional subsidies will be provided for tutoring projects based on actual conditions; tuition is free (the process is to pay 10,000 first, and then receive an academic scholarship of 10,000).

8. Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Ph.D. student in Materials

The monthly national subsidy is 1,950, and the research group subsidy is 600-1,200; the tuition fee is 10,000; the scholarship covers 10,000 (equivalent to free of charge) tuition fee).

9. PhD student from Shandong University

Enrolled in 2013. In the past few years, the fee has been 1,300 yuan/month, but later it increased by 200 yuan, which is 1,500 yuan/month. However, you need to pay a tuition fee of 10,000 yuan to the school for the first year of B5. Because Shandong University needs to publish two CSSCI papers to graduate, basically everyone will have a long submission time, which means that there should be only a few people who graduate in 4 years, and there are also 8th and 10th grade PhD students. This is the situation around me.

1250 per month.

2750 per month, which is not as much as what some schools offer for master’s degrees.

2400 a month.

The salary for the school and the tutor is 2,500 plus a scholarship of 8,000 for a year, which averages out to about 3,300 a month. Before breaking through the Siwei, there was a scientific research achievement award where you can get some bonuses based on articles every year, but now they are all cancelled. Now, you still have to rely on family support in your thirties? Is it too difficult? It may be even harder after graduation?

This year the subsidy has just been increased to 2,750.

From 76 yuan per month to 100,000 annual income

In 1985, the monthly subsidy for domestic doctoral students was only 76 yuan (plus 15 yuan for those with work experience). In 1996 It was raised to three levels of 240, 260 and 280 yuan, and this situation lasted until around 2008.

In 2009, well-known scientists such as Wang Xiaofan, Shi Yigong and Rao Yi noticed that graduate students were generally receiving significantly lower treatment, and wrote to then Premier Wen Jiabao about this, and also recruited nearly 60 domestic and foreign scientists. Professor's signature and support. Because of this incident, the subsidy for doctoral students was increased to no less than 1,000 yuan per month.

Before the two sessions in 2017, Shi Yigong, then vice president of Tsinghua University and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, mentioned: “This time, taking into account factors such as prices, graduate student subsidies should be increased again.”

< p>In March of the same year, the annual "national scholarship" for doctoral students across the country increased by 3,000 yuan, which is evenly divided to 250 yuan per month. Among them, the fee for local universities increased from 12,000 yuan to 15,000 yuan, and the fee for local universities increased from 10,000 yuan to 13,000 yuan. Other graduate training institutions such as scientific research institutes also followed suit. Related Q&A: Related Q&A: How much does it cost to study for a PhD per year?

How much does it cost to study for a Ph.D. for one year? This is a matter of opinion and differs from region to region, university level and even personal consumption habits. Now, let me do a simple analysis based on my experience and understanding.

First, there is the issue of the subsidy and scholarship system for doctoral students. Currently, doctoral students are entitled to a monthly stipend, ranging from 1,500 to 6,000, depending on the liberal arts and sciences. For science and engineering majors, if the tutor has horizontal projects and is highly involved, he may earn more. In addition to basic allowances, doctoral students also have various scholarships, including national scholarships, school-level scholarships and social naming scholarships. If you have good scientific research results, you can apply for scholarships ranging from 5,000 to 30,000. In terms of minimum income, a doctoral candidate only receives a stipend, which is at least 15,000 yuan a year. In fact, according to my understanding of many doctoral students who have resumed diplomatic relations with Qingbei, some excellent PhD students can earn 40,000-60,000 yuan per year.

Second, urban hierarchy and regional differentiation. For Shanghai, 2,500 yuan per month for school students may be a bit too much. If a doctoral student is still in a relationship, this number may increase by 1.5 times. For the western region, basic consumption of 2,000 yuan per month can definitely be guaranteed, and there may be a small surplus. The degree of economic development and price and consumption levels of a city determine whether the stipend for doctoral students is sufficient. Differences in the distribution of universities at different levels and regions will affect the consumption of PhDs.

Third, increase revenue and reduce expenditure during the PhD period. Now with a Ph.D., you can work in many part-time jobs, part-time teaching, part-time writing, etc. I have a friend with a PhD who is studying for a PhD in Shanghai. His part-time income is about 20,000 yuan per year. The school's annual income is 23,000 yuan, and he occasionally applies for a scholarship of about 10,000 yuan, which basically allows him to maintain a stable consumption level. For many PhD students with good family conditions, they may spend at least 100,000 yuan a year. But for students from ordinary families, 30,000 yuan per year can already lead a relatively comfortable life.

Therefore, how much money you need to spend each year to study for a Ph.D. mainly depends on the school's subsidy amount, liberal arts, science and engineering, whether you work part-time, and personal consumption habits. If you have a good family background, live in a high-consumption area such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shenzhen, etc., have high personal consumption and are in a relationship, you will need at least 60,000-100,000 yuan per year. If you are a doctoral student from an ordinary family, no matter which city you are in, you can survive on 20,000-30,000 yuan per year. In short, for doctoral students, achieving financial independence is not a big problem.

The above is for reference.
