A number of full-time University of Westminster Studentships are available to candidates with either Home or Overseas fee status in any area of Art, Media and Communication starting in September 2014.

The Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM) is a leading centre for research across the disciplines of visual arts, photography, film and digital media. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise CREAM was rated 20% 4*, 55%, 25% 2*. The Times Higher Education Supplement ranked CREAM in the top six art and design departments in the UK and the most highly rated department in this field in London.

With 30 research active staff, and 35 doctoral students, CREAM is a leading provider of both practice-based and theoretical PhD research in photography, film, digital media, ceramics, visual art, art-science relationships and moving image work.

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.
