PhD Fellowships, Manchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK (2016)

We seek high quality research applications in the professions, practices, histories and theories of architecture, art, craft, design, film, media, new media, or the disciplines of visual and material culture.

Successful candidates will already have training in the broad category of art and design or related disciplines. You will have substantial skills with a high 2:1 or first class BA (Hons) and a merit or distinction at MA or equivalent professional experience.
