The University of Portsmouth is investing in funded PhD bursaries that underpin our commitment to ever-developing our research culture and the impact that our research makes. In the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries, we welcome a range of research methods and we are especially keen to support interdisciplinary projects that involve more than one of the specialist research areas in the Faculty. We value research projects  that demonstrate tangible real-world social impact and that identify collaborations with non-academic institutions, groups or organisations. We seek to achieve equality, diversity and inclusivity in our research community and wish to encourage applications from under-represented groups.

We invite PhD proposals in any of the following  areas of  research across our schools. Further details can be found by following the links below each school.

Candidates applying for any of the research areas may be eligible to compete for a small number of bursaries available. Successful applicants will receive a bursary to cover tuition fees for three years and a stipend in line with the UKRI rate (£18,622 for 2023/24).
