Unit of Assessment ‘Communication, Cultural and Media Studies, Library
and Information Management’ was ranked 7^th / 67 according to Grade
Point Average and 2^nd in both Research Power and Research Intensity. In 
October 2015, the QS World rankings rated the university among the top 
50 Universities in the world for Communication and Media Studies, for 
the fourth year in succession.

The Centre is particularly well-known for world-leading research in:

*Funding and eligibility*

The studentship is open to all graduates with backgrounds in relevant
disciplines and who are articulate, well qualified and highly motivated.

The studentship is for three years and will cover tuition fees at the
UK/EU rate and an annual stipend of £14,057 (standard RCUK rate 2015/16
