Britain really undervalues PhD students. PhD students at the University of Copenhagen earn 36,000DKK/month, which after taxes works out to around £34,000 or $40,000 per year. They are considered normal employees with a pension, holiday etc. German PhD salaries seem only slightly lower, but taxes and living costs are also lower, so it's probably similar or slightly better. https://uniavisen.dk/en/salaries-at-the-university-of-copenhagen-2022/ https://uniavisen.dk/en/salaries-at-the-university-of-copenh... https://academicpositions.com/career-advice/phd-postdoc-and-professor-salaries-in-germany https://academicpositions.com/career-advice/phd-postdoc-and-...
