Course summary

Ulster University pioneered the development of Communication and Media Studies in higher education, introducing one of the first communication and media studies degrees in the UK and Ireland in 1978. In REF 2021 an impressive 77% of our research was judged either world-leading or internationally excellent. We are particularly proud of our quality profile of our research outputs, nearly tripling the amount of our world leading outputs during the last REF cycle, placing our research unit 2nd of the 9 research units in the faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and 4th overall of the 18 research units across Ulster University as a whole. The REF 2021 panel were keen the emphasise the 'world leading' quality of our research outputs in the areas of 'Cultural Studies', 'Television', 'Film' and 'Screen Studies' and we very much welcome applications in these related areas (broadly construed). We also particularly welcome applications in Psychosocial Studies, Radical Politics and Social Movements, Cycling Cultures, The Politics of Everyday Life and Popular Culture, Emerging Media, Media Policy and Political Communication.

PhD graduates are recognised by employers to hold valuable transferrable skills, as the nature of the degree trains candidates in creativity, critical inquiry, problem solving, negotiation skills, professionalism and confidence. The most recent Ulster survey of PhD graduates found that 92% had secured employment within the first year since graduation (HESA Destination of Leavers Survey 2015), and while two thirds end up in the Higher Education or Research sectors, the range of skills acquired equips the remainder for employment in a wide range of contexts.
