[ecrea] University of Westminster PHD Studentships Deadline 15th February

Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI) Research Studentships 
in the School of Media, Arts and Design at the University of Westminster
Three years, full time
£16,000 ANNUAL STIPEND PLUS FEE WAIVER
A number of full-time University of Westminster Studentships are 
available to candidates with either Home or Overseas fee status in any 
area of Media and Communication starting in September 2013.

CAMRI (the Communication and Media Research Institute) is the UK’s 
number one research group in media and communication as rated by the UK 
Government’s 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, with a score of 60% 4*, 
30% 3*, 10% 2*. We have over 20 research active staff and more than 50 
PhD students. We have a wide and expanding range of research interests, 
including media economics and policy, media history, political 
communication, questions of identity and media, new media, and 
international communication. We have established centres for the study 
of the media in China, India, the Arab world and Africa. In the broadest 
sense we are interested in the social, economic, political and cultural 
significance of the media, and welcome proposals from prospective 
students on these or any other topic related to media and communication.

Eligible candidates will hold at least an upper second class honours 
degree and a Master’s degree. Candidates whose secondary level education 
has not been conducted in the medium of English should also demonstrate 
evidence of appropriate English language proficiency, normally defined 
as 6.5 in IELTS (with not less than 6.0 in any of the individual elements).

The Studentship consists of a fee waiver and a stipend of £16,000 per 
annum. Successful candidates will be expected to undertake some teaching 
duties.
