The Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI), 
http://www.westminster.ac.uk/camri

CAMRI is the UK’s number one research group in media and communication 
asrated by the UK Government’s 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. We 
have 25 research active staff and 50 PhD students. We have a wide and 
expanding range of research interests, including media economics and 
policy, media history, political communication, media audiences, 
questions of identity and media, new media, and international 
communication. We have established centres for the study of the media in 
China, in the Arab world and in Africa currently developing a similar 
centre for India. In the broadest sense we are interested in the social, 
economic, political and cultural significance of the media, and welcome 
proposals from prospective students on these or any other topic related 
to media and communication.
Prospective students wishing to informally discuss an application should 
contact Dr Anthony McNicholas at [log in to unmask]


In addition to their PhD studies, successful candidates will be expected 
to undertake up to 6 hours per week assisting with teaching and other 
academic duties. The University will provide support for these 
activities including attendance at education courses within the 
University that can lead to additional qualifications.

Applicants should hold or expect to be awarded a 2.1 honours degree or 
above and preferably a Masters degree and should, where relevant, 
demonstrate English Language competence of at least IELTS 6.5 or 
equivalent. Applicants should hold Home/EU fee status.
