My friends are each making £30k per annum, the stipend itself is 25k but they make at least 5k a year just marking exams and giving practicals. With it being tax free, it&#x27;s easily equivalent to a job paying £35-40k(they are both at a Russel Group university).<p>I, on the other hand, make £25k per annum, and that&#x27;s before tax :P
