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). 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.
Entry criteria are normally at least a 2:1 in a relevant first degree and a masters degree. Applications should include a research proposal and all necessary additional documents.
