[ecrea] AHRC-funded PhD studentships

*PhD Opportunities in Digital Design, Digital Media and Digital Arts *

The 3D3 Centre for Doctoral Training in Digital Design, Media and Arts 
is now inviting applications for its first cohort of PhD studentships. 
3D3^ is an AHRC-funded partnership between the universities of the West 
of England (UWE Bristol), Plymouth and Falmouth, creating exciting 
opportunities for /practice-led/ doctoral students in three fields of 
study: digital design, digital media and digital arts (including music 
and performance). Up to ten PhD studentships (covering fees plus an 
annual stipend) will be offered to applicants of the highest quality 
each year for the next five years. Some research masters studentships 
will also be available each year through the consortium in the same 
fields of study.

3D3^ students will benefit from the combined resources of the three 
universities and enjoy a bespoke training programme that can be extended 
through a period of external placement. The consortium has a partnership 
with REACT (Research and Enterprise in Arts and Creative Technologies), 
an AHRC-funded Creative Economy hub with a wide network of businesses 
and arts-based organisations. Students will be based at one of the three 
institutions depending on the focus of their research and should 
indicate their preference in their application. This is a unique 
opportunity to become part of a new generation of creative 
scholar-practitioners working at the forefront of a rapidly expanding 
research landscape.

/How to apply and eligibility/

3D3 AHRC studentships are only open to applicants who meet the AHRC 
residence requirements. Applicants should have achieved at least a 2:1
