As a pioneer in the field of journalism education since 1970, we offer 
an intellectually stimulating research environment with an international 
reputation for research excellence.

//

Our overarching Phd/MPhil programme of Journalism Studies 
<http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/research/programmes/programme/journalism-studies> 
covers all projects that we supervise within any of the fields of 
journalism, media and cultural studies.

We particularly invite applications for PhD projects that fall within 
one or more of our five research groups 
<http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/journalism-media-cultural-studies/research/centres-and-groups>. 
However, we will also consider applications for projects that do not fit 
entirely within these parameters.

Our five research groups are:

  * Digital Media and Society
  * Journalism and Democracy
  * Media, Culture and Creativity
  * Communication and Human Security
  * Science, Health and the Media

As a postgraduate research student, you will have the opportunity to 
make an indelible mark on academia surrounding global media and 
journalism issues.

We are committed to helping you reach your fullest potential with the 
assistance of our expert research supervisors and the incredible 
academic, technical and personal support provided by our experienced staff.

Cardiff University’s School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, 
supported by the ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership for Wales (Wales 
DTP), invites applications for PhD study, with the possibility of being 
awarded a fully-funded ESRC DTP Studentship, available to start in 
October 2017.

There is potential for up to three doctoral studentship awards (although 
this number is not guaranteed) in the area of Journalism and Democracy.

These studentships are ‘open’ awards. Applicants should consider 
approaching a potential supervisor before submitting their application 
to confirm that there is appropriate supervisory capacity within the 
University and to discuss their draft application.

Information on the research interests of our staff can be found on the 
School webpages 
<http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/journalism-media-cultural-studies/research>. A 
short description of the Journalism and Democracy pathway is available 
on the ESRC Wales DTP 
<http://www.walesdtc.ac.uk/pathway/journalism-and-democracy/> website.
