Full Time Scholarships on International PhD PROGRAMMES at UCLAN

No Comments

Full Time Scholarships on PhD programmes are being offered up at one of the most sought after universities of UK i.e. University of Central Lancashire. The university which also popularly referred to as UCLAN has come up with appealing scholarship Programmes for international PhD study programmes. Students coming from all over the world to study in UK for their PhD degrees might find this scholarship option quite an attractive one!

Here are the details about international PHD scholarship programme offered by UCLAN

International PhD

Scholarship Project Title

A critical evaluation of the current role and future potential of news storytelling within the context of continuously changing digital news formats and platforms University of Central Lancashire – School of Journalism, media and Communication.

Applications are invited for a full-time scholarship available in the School of Journalism Media and Communication. The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only.

UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years.

Project Title

A critical evaluation of the current role and future potential of news storytelling within the context of continuously changing digital news formats and platforms

Project Description

News, like many other forms of communication, fundamentally is about storytelling. The ways in which stories have been told historically has varied in relation to changes in language use and sophistication, culture, technology, political and economic pressures, among other things.

Most crucially, the business of what is a good story and how audiences can be made interested in it is the result of a continuous process of dynamic interaction between all of these things, but technology is becoming increasingly important.

The radical acceleration of the development of digital technology that has occurred in the twenty-first century has introduced so many new different formats and platforms of news delivery that the technology has now outstripped the rate of news providers’ corresponding ability to rethink and reformulate their storytelling strategies.

This project will investigate in detail the nature of the interaction between this technological development drive and current news storytellers’ rates of adaption, together with the so far unrealized potential of various of the new platforms/ formats for facilitating new forms of creative news writing.

It will investigate the potential of new technologies for harmonizing story telling techniques with different sectors of the audience as they shift from one new platform/format to another.

It will explore also the potential of new formats/storytelling techniques for expanding the level of attention given to the detail rather than the headlines of the news. It will do this specifically with regard to platforms that contain inherent and limiting technical characteristics that encourage sampling and quick views rather than in-depth news viewing.

[NOTE: Applicants should have, or expect to receive a qualification
equivalent to a high class UK honors degree]
**Application Forms can be found at: www.uclan.ac.uk/studentships
**Completed application forms should be emailed to uclanindia@gmail.com

The closing date for applications to the Graduate Research Office
Friday 12 May 2011 and the Proposed Interview Date: 1 June 2011

Thames Valley Changes Its Avatar – Now Becomes ‘The University Of West London’

No Comments

Recently Thames Valley University announced that it has changed its name to ‘The University of West London’. The new name highlights a strategic shift for the University, with a repositioning of their operations onto the Ealing and Brentford sites at West London campus.

It also emphasizes the university’s mission which is to raise aspiration through the pursuit of excellence, underpinned by a value proposition that has touted it as the ‘University for creative
professionals’.

Approval for the name change came from the Privy Council last year and since then Thames Valley University has been undertaking the careful process of re branding the University for the future, and are now rolling out a new logo as part of their visual identity.

This is a new name and there has been no change of legal identity. These changes come during an academic year that will see The University of West London welcome its new Chancellor- Laurence Geller. Laurence is currently President and CEO of Strategic Hotels and Resorts and one of the most distinguished alumni of the university. He will take up his term of office on 12 May.

With this new name comes a continuing commitment to all the partnerships of the university, along with the added value that the new ‘West London’ name will bring. In addition, the university plans to continue to work productively with businesses, cultural organizations, and the voluntary sector while taking the opportunity to rebrand their visual identity in a way that reinforces our long-standing and ongoing partnerships in the region.

The response to the name change has been overwhelmingly positive amongst all the current and prospective student bodies of Thames Valley University and the university anticipates that this will be reflected in their recruitment figures moving forward.

The university is now in the fortunate position of being recognized both nationally and internationally, which alongside their London location and continuing strong partnerships, makes them proud of their past but also really excited about the future.

As the Thames Valley University has been saying ‘Our proud heritage of over 150 years in teaching and professional education’, the ideologies remain the same just the names changes to The University Of West London!
