Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism Research Studentships

The Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism (CLJJ) is hosted by the School of Law, and is the first major interdisciplinary centre in the UK to develop a broad yet focussed interface between law, justice and journalism in society.

The Centre brings together expertise in the disciplines of Law, Criminology, and Journalism, at City University London.  The addition of other disciplines/fields –Communications, Forensics and International Politics- provides important intellectually relevant and distinctive additions to the Centre.

 

The Centre is underpinned with high quality teaching particularly in the existing and successful postgraduate courses, PhD programmes, and CPD, in Law, Justice, and Journalism.

The Centre is offering 5 three-year, full-time doctoral Research Studentships, available to both home and overseas fee-paying students.

 

Applications can be made to undertake doctoral studies in a topic of an interdisciplinary nature and relevant to the five main themes of the Centre:

  • Legal Restraints on the media
  • Transformations in media policy
  • Journalism and Human Rights
  • Media, Security and Justice
  • Communicating Forensic evidence.

    •  

    For entry in October 2010 or earlier if possible, the studentships will attract a bursary of £12,000 per annum in addition to payment of the tuition fees. Successful candidates will usually be expected to undertake some teaching support activity in their second and third years, by agreement with the School concerned.
