Media Studies Swansea University

Overview

Doctoral researchers at the Media Studies programme offered by Swansea University undertake original investigation, supervised by two experienced academics with relevant expertise throughout the course of the project. Scholarly work is supported through fortnightly meetings in the first term and meetings at regular agreed intervals beyond. Skills and training programmes provide further support, with opportunities to deliver presentations at departmental seminars and postgraduate conferences. There may also be opportunities to teach undergraduate tutorials and seminars, receive training and payment for teaching activities, and obtain financial support for attending conferences or conducting work away from Swansea.
