PhD places for September 2014 intake now released

We have now released fully funded PhD places for September 2014 start – the
application deadline is 31st January 2014.

4 year fully funded places are available for all UK/EU and international
candidates to apply for – stipend is £15,726 per annum tax free and all
fees for the programme are also included, we do consider self funding also.

Find out how to
apply<http://www.qmul.ac.uk/qmul/courses/courses.php?course_id=695&dept_id=4&pgcourses=1&course_level=1>

You are required to hold a 1st at degree or distinction at masters level in
a related field OR, in exceptional circumstances, a very high standard of
work/practice experience may be a substitute.

You need to provide:

   - statement of interest – 2 side maximum on why you want to do our PhD
   - CV
   - Research Proposal – 10 sides maximum on your research interests, this
   gives us an idea on what you would ideally research and what you know about
   the research done in that area, but on our programme your actual topic does
   not get fixed until a year into the PhD.
   - 2 x academic references (just 1 and 1 x work related reference it was
   a long time since your studies)

All of these documents must be uploaded to the online application system.

Ours is partly a taught program so it doesn't suit everyone, you spend the
whole of the first year in fact on internship and doing taught modules -
let us know if you have specific questions via:

mat-enquiries em eecs.qmul.ac.uk

the students research blog <http://qmat.net/>

internship projects<http://www.mat.qmul.ac.uk/projects/placement-projects/index.html>

The PhD has 6 taught modules in 1st 2 semesters yr 1, then 6 month
internship (with companies such as BBC, BT, Last.fm, United Visual Artists,
Inition for example).

The taught modules are research methods, comtemporary studio production
(audio piece on logic, Interactive digital multimedia techniques (Max MSP
and Arduino and raspberry Pi), Digital Arts documentary (video piece made
in a group edited on final cut) plus 2 chosen modules from a long list such
as Java programming, C++, design for Human interaction.

YR 2 and 3 has 2 or 3 more taught option modules such as Art Performance
and the City with our Geography Department, Performance Research with our
drama department as well as those form our own school such as digital audio
effects, music Analysis and Synthesis, multimedia systems, digital
broadcasting, etc.

In year two your research proper starts, you wouldn't really be expected to
finalise your PhD topic, (therefore have an associated supervisor) until
around December 2015 if you join sept 2014.
