PhD Studentships in Media, Communication and Cultures Studies at 
Newcastle University

The School of Arts and Cultures at Newcastle University seeks 
outstanding applicants for our PhD programmes in Media, Communication 
and Cultural Studies. Fully-funded by the AHRC’s Northern Bridge 
Doctoral Training Partnership, successful students will be joining one 
of the strongest research units in the country and have the chance to 
progress their careers in a dynamic, creative and supportive environment.

The School invites applications in all areas of media, communication and 
cultural study but we are particularly interested in students who can 
help us build on our existing areas of research excellence in:

Journalism studies
Political communication
Intimacy, personal relationships and media
Digital media studies
Gender, identities, masculinities, and culture/media
Critical discourse analysis
To be eligible, you will need to hold an excellent undergraduate degree, 
have completed or be completing a Master’s degree in a relevant subject 
area, and have exciting plans for an original and significant PhD 
project.  Being able to demonstrate a strong fit with our existing 
expertise and/or our unique research infrastructure will give you a 
clear advantage.

Students benefit from disciplinary and generic research training within 
an award-winning postgraduate research training programme within the 
Humanities and Social Sciences Higher Education Academy. Our PhD 
students also play a key role in our research culture including the 
Gender Research Group and other research networks such as the 
University’s Postcolonial Research and Cultural Significance of Place 
Groups. Our facilities include Culture Lab, a focal point for research 
in human-computer interaction and digital creative practice.

Studentships will be awarded on a competitive basis, are fully-funded by 
the Arts and Humanities Research Council as part of the Northern Bridge 
Doctoral Training Partnership and include a tax free maintenance grant 
of £14,057p.a. (subject to review).
