This is part of a major investment by the University of Leeds in a large number of 'leadership Chairs'

Meanwhile if you have undergraduates or MA students who might be interested in postgraduate research at the University of Leeds, we are also currently advertising an ESRC studentship.


The Economic&  Social Research Council is the main provider of postgraduate awards in the areas of economic and social sciences.

The University of Leeds has been allocated a number of studentships as part of the White Rose Doctoral Training Centre (WR DTC), a major collaboration between the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York. One of these awards is in the area of Communications and Media Studies and is available on either a 1+3 or +3 basis.

1+3 Studentships consist of a full-time integrated research-training Masters with a 3-year PhD programme.

+3 Studentships are for full-time 3-year PhD study for applicants who have already completed an ESRC-recognised Master’s Degree or appropriate research training programme.

Note: these awards are only available to nationals from the UK and EU and are not open to applicants who are liable to pay academic fees at the international fee rate.

Closing date for applications: 17 February 2012.
