[Commlist] AHRC Scholarships at the University of Westminster

techne is now welcoming applications for fully-funded studentships in 
the Communication and Media Research Institute CAMRI beginning in autumn 
2022.

The University of Westminster is one of the nine universities that make 
up the AHRC-funded techne Doctoral Training Partnership.

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

About the studentships

3.5 years full-time (7 years part-time)
£17,609 per annum stipend full-time (£8,804 per annum part-time)*

  * Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI
    <https://camri.ac.uk/>). 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’. *21/22 UKRI stipend rates

What does it include?

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).**

**22/23 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 the AHRC’s webpage

and a masters degree. Applications should include a research proposal 
and all necessary additional documents.
