[Commlist] PhD Scholarships - AHRC funding - South, West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership

AHRC funding (South, West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership 2
Cardiff is part of a consortium of 10 universities that form the South, 
West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership. The School of Journalism, 
Media and Culture (JOMEC) has a long-standing reputation as a 
world-leading centre for innovative teaching and research. Researchers 
engage with pressing contemporary issues and debates bringing together 
theory and practice. In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework 
assessment, our research was ranked 2nd in the UK in terms of its 
quality and impact.
A key strength of JOMEC's research environment is the ongoing dialogue 
between research and practice-based staff delivering impactful research 
and policy.

JOMEC's cutting-edge research findings are shared through weekly 
seminars featuring speakers from across the UK and internationally. We 
also host the renowned biennial ‘Future of Journalism' conference 
bringing together scholars and practitioners from around the world 
contributing to a lively research environment.

JOMEC's state of the art facilities at Two Central Square situates us at 
the centre of local and national media, including BBC Cymru/Wales whose 
brand-new headquarters is situated next door. Our location facilitates 
building of strong industry links, boosting students' employability 
through access to major media organisations within the important and 
growing sector of the creative and cultural industries.

JOMEC academics have multi-disciplinary backgrounds from across the 
social sciences and humanities; have a strong tradition of teamwork and 
collaborative publications, and a substantial industry base.

We are looking for applicants from the UK or EU with evidence of 
exceptional promise for PhD study. You will have a compelling research 
project that will benefit from the expertise which we can offer in and 
across a range of subjects, and from our rich academic resources and 
network of non-HEI (Higher Education Institution) partners. As an SWW 
DTP student you will be provided with access across institutional 
boundaries to the most relevant and cutting-edge expertise through these 
collaborative supervisory teams – normally involving supervisors at two 
different Consortium institutions. This will ensure an exceptional 
breadth and depth of support for your research project.

SWW DTP2 studentships are open to full-time and part-time applicants 
from the UK or EU.

SWW DTP2 studentships entitled both UK and EU doctoral students to a 
tuition fee award of £4,327 per annum at 2019/20 rates (pro-rata for 
part-time) Applicants ordinarily resident in the UK who are awarded a 
studentship will receive from the AHRC a maintenance award of £15,009 
per annum at 2019/20 rates (or part-time equivalent). Applicants 
ordinarily resident in an EU member state other than the who are awarded 
a studentship are eligible only for a tuition fee award from the AHRC.
