[eccr] Doctoral scholarships in media and communication studies

Doctoral scholarships in media and communication studies
The Communication and Media Research Institute has a number of scholarships
available for candidates wishing to commence study for a doctoral
degree. The Institute is one of the leading UK research groups in media
and communication studies. It was awarded a 5 in the last three research
assessment exercises. Today the Institute has 20 researchers and around 40
doctoral students, located in the Department of Journalism and Mass
Communication. In the last Teaching Quality Assessment (TQA) the Department
scored 23 out of 24. For the past four years the Guardian has rated
Westminster the top university in the UK for media studies.
The Institute has strengths in media policy and economics, in media
history, and in the study of media audiences. The work of the Institute
also has a very strong international dimension, with members who are
leading experts on media in India, China and the Arab world, as well in the
study of diasporic audiences in Europe.
Applications are invited from prospective students with research proposals
in the above areas. We particularly wish to expand our research in
globalisation and the media, and media audiences.
The Institute is part of the School of Media, Art and Design. Information
about the School and its work are available at: http://www.wmin.ac.uk/mad.
The scholarships are open to all prospective students. The duration of
scholarships is three years, and they consist of a stipend (currently
£9,000 per annum for new students) and a waiver of tuition
fees. Successful candidates may be asked to act as teaching assistants on
appropriate modules for up to six hours per week, or to undertake
equivalent other duties in support of the work of the Institute.
The method of application is by means of the standard University
postgraduate admissions procedure. Applicants may obtain copies of the
documentation from Erica Spindler ((e.spindler /at/ wmin.ac.uk) or telephone
020-7911-5968). Applications should be accompanied by a developed statement
of the candidate's proposed field of research, including a definition of
the topic and principal research questions, an outline of the research
methods to be adopted, and an indicative bibliography. Please state
clearly in your covering letter that you wish to be considered for a
scholarship (ref 50007782).
.
Completed application forms and proposal documents should be returned to
Erica Spindler at:
Research Office
