Doctoral Studentship in Innovative Creative Tech

Supervision will be led by Dr Christian Mclening.

AUB can offer the following support for this PhD opportunity:

One fully funded studentship, offered on a full-time basis only. The successful applicant will have their fees paid (at the Home rate) and be awarded a University stipend (£16,062 per annum) for up to three years (subject to satisfactory progress). They'll be expected to contribute up to six hours of academic duties a week. Please refer to the studentship terms and conditions for further details. We particularly welcome applicants who self-identify as being from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME/Global Majority) background.

International students may apply but will need to pay the difference in fees level between the home and international student fee.

Applicants are also invited from students who wish to self-fund their studies.

• Candidates for a PhD studentship must demonstrate outstanding qualities and be motivated to complete a PhD in three years (full-time).
• Applicants should hold a first or 2:1 Honours degree and typically a Masters degree in an appropriate subject in Creative Tech such as VR and AR design, digital design, user centred design or related discipline.
• Applicants with alternative qualifications/experience will be considered if they can demonstrate relevant achievement. Applicants whose first language is not English will be expected to have an IELTS score of at least 7.0 with 7.0 minimum in writing.
• In addition to satisfying basic entry criteria, AUB will look closely at the research potential and academic qualities of each candidate and what they can bring to their chosen research project in order to ensure successful and timely completion.
