<http://www.city.ac.uk/research/resdegrees/studentships/cljj_studentships.html>http://www.city.ac.uk/research/resdegrees/studentships/cljj_studentships.html
The Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism
(CLJJ) is hosted by the School of Law, and is
the first major interdisciplinary centre in the
UK to develop a broad yet focussed interface
between law, justice and journalism in society.
The Centre brings together expertise in the
disciplines of Law, Criminology, and Journalism,
at City University London. The addition of
other disciplines/fields ?Communications,
Forensics and International Politics- provides
important intellectually relevant and distinctive additions to the Centre.
The Centre is underpinned with high quality
teaching particularly in the existing and
successful postgraduate courses, PhD
programmes, and CPD, in Law, Justice, and Journalism.
The Centre is offering 5 three-year, full-time
doctoral Research Studentships, available to
both home and overseas fee-paying students.
Applications can be made to undertake doctoral
studies in a topic of an interdisciplinary
nature and relevant to the five main themes of the Centre:
* Legal Restraints on the media
* Transformations in media policy
* Journalism and Human Rights
* Media, Security and Justice
* Communicating Forensic evidence.
For entry in October 2010 or earlier if
possible, the studentships will attract a
bursary of £12,000 per annum in addition to
payment of the tuition fees. Successful
candidates will usually be expected to undertake
some teaching support activity in their second
and third years, by agreement with the School concerned.
