PhD Studentships
School of Social Sciences, Media and Communication
Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh is a research led institution
specialising in high quality research that touches people's everyday
lives.
Our postgraduate research students are a crucial part of the research
community. Each student works with a dedicated team of academic
supervisors and receives training in key areas of research. Research
students who receive bursaries are expected to participate in the
learning and teaching of undergraduate students.
The School of Social Sciences, Media and Communication is proud of
its dynamic research culture. QMU was awarded the Queen's Anniversary
Prize in 2002 for the clinical application of speech sciences, and

the Centre for Health Psychology, as well as fostering a wide range
of research into culture, media, public relations and sociology.
