  *technē AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership Studentships**at the
  University of Westminster*

technē is now welcoming applications for fully-funded studentships 
across the arts and humanities beginning in autumn 2021.

The Communication and Media Institute (CAMRI) is a world leading centre 
in the study of media and communication, renowned for its critical and 
international research which has consistently been ranked highly 
according to the Research Excellence Framework and the QS World 
University rankings. In REF 2014 52% of our work was ranked ‘world 
leading’ and 87% ‘internationally excellent’. We are part of the 
AHRC-funded technē Doctoral Training Partnership.

For more information on technē and the kinds of projects it funds, 
please go to thetechne website <http://www.techne.ac.uk/>.

As well as financial support, technē offers a developmental framework 
for doctoral researchers across the collaborating institutions, with 
research training, supportive community networks, professional and 
public engagement opportunities and a space for both independent and 
collaborative scholarship.


    *About the studentships*

*3.5 years full-time (7 years part-time) *
*£17,285 per annum stipend full-time (£8,643 per annum part-time)* *

*20/21 UKRI stipend rates


    *What does it includ**e?*

The studentships include maintenance and fees for 3.5 years for a full 
time student; or 7 years for a part-time student at 50% of the full-time 
studentship level each year (pro rata if you have already started your 
PhD). Studentships are open to students who have already started their 
doctoral study but they must have at least 50% of the funded period of 
an AHRC award (usually 18 months full time) remaining at the time they 
start their scholarship.

International students are eligible to apply for studentships but will 
be expected to pay the difference between the home and international fee 
rate themselves (as the studentship will only cover fees at the home 
rate, plus the stipend).**

**21/22 home fee rate is £5,520 and the international fee rate is 
£14,110. Therefore, international students will be expected to pay the 
difference between these fee rates themselves - £8,590.


    *Entry requirements*

Students must comply with the AHRC eligibility criteria and other terms 
and conditions available on theAHRC’s webpage 
<https://ahrc.ukri.org/skills/phdstudents/award-holders-terms-and-conditions/>.

Entry criteria are normally at least a 2:1 in a relevant first degree 
and a masters degree. Applications should include a research proposal 
and all necessary additional documents.
