Applying for Postgraduate Research in Media and Communications

Process

Students interested in applying for Postgraduate Research at the University must follow the general process described in the Postgrad Research Prospectus available online via the Faculty pages. There you will find an application information and downloadable forms (see right hand column).

While following this general administrative process, you should also discuss your proposed research area with the department/school before lodging an application for admission. This involves contacting the relevant Department Postgraduate Research Contact (see list at web link above). The Postgraduate Research contact in the Media and Communications Department is currently Dr Tim Dwyer.

Feel free to approach Dr Dwyer regarding your proposal or any policy that is unclear. But please read the available information from the Faculty and on this page first.

Because postgraduate students are based in a department, choosing the right department is important.

A Note on Protocol: We will endeavour to reply to your email within a week. Because of the volume of messages received email communication should be formal, thoughtfully structured, and expressed in a high standard of English. Keep in mind that your correspondence may be viewed by third parties in the Department or Faculty. Informal and disorganised emails, emails that have not been proof-read, or emails that contain requests for information already contained on this page, cannot be guaranteed a response.
