In addition, we are also supporting doctoral projects in other areas related to interests of individual staff members. Further information about our areas of supervision can be found here, and prospective applicants are also encouraged to explore individual staff research profiles before contacting a member of staff to discuss their proposal.

Our doctoral researchers play an active role in shaping our research culture, co-organise seminars, collaborate with staff in the organisation of high-profile research events, and organise their own annual conference. Our PhD graduates have gone on to successful careers in academia, with appointments including full-time lectureships at Exeter, Keele, Leicester, Lincoln, Liverpool, and Loughborough, and international appointments, as well as a range of destinations in the media and cultural industries, including; China Development Research Foundation, Elsevier Ltd, Image Line Communication, Institute of Psychiatry, Metropolitan Police Service, Oxfam, and X-Pert Med GmbH.

All doctoral students in Communication and Media are part of the Centre for Research in Communication and Culture (CRCC), the largest research centre of its kind in the UK, established in 1991. The CRCC organises a regular seminar series, as well as events and conferences, all oriented towards the interdisciplinary study of communication. Our department is also home to the long-established Discourse and Rhetoric Group, linked to our specialism in Language and Social Interaction.
