Media and Communication
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
