The challenges we face today—social and environmental injustice, climate change, precarious work, surveillance, and a shrinking public sphere—are big, complex and multifaceted. Among their many other dimensions, they are questions of communication and culture, which demand urgent engagement. The Ph.D. in Communication, New Media, and Cultural Studies (CNMCS) is for creative students who embrace complexity, love difficult questions, and hunger for intellectual, artistic, and pedagogical risk-taking driven towards positive social change.

In this social media-related curriculum, the student is expected to explore how to strategically create and distribute a brand's content across a variety of different social networks. Social media managers are tasked with representing a company across social channels as the sole voice of the brand.

The study program prepares students for independent academic work in the field of communication, media, and marketing studies at universities, with substantial knowledge of communication and media theories and methodologies.

A research thesis in this PhD programme should develop and deepen recent and innovative marketing strategies and concepts, including social media and the Internet, that help us to improve strategies to stay in touch with customers.

We welcome proposals for research in any area connected with media, communications, digital media, cultural theory and practice.

This study programme serves to explore, through the realization of the research thesis, the use of advertising, integrated marketing communications and new media in local, regional, national and global markets.

The doctoral program in Information and Communication in Digital Platforms, started in the academic year 2008/2009, aims to enable students to enhance knowledge at a doctoral level in the area of Communication and information Sciences on scenarios of technological mediation, and also provide skill development and training as independent researchers. The doctoral program is a strategic partnership on research between the UNiversities of Aveiro and Porto following the creation, in 2007, of the joint research unit DIGIMEDIA

The study Program aims at the advanced training of specialists and researchers in the area of New Media, with the purpose of planning and carrying out research related to the study, design, development and validation of multimedia infocommunication applications and devices to support mediation of the activity of individuals and organisations in different human contexts (e.g. education, entertainment,health), drawing on the most updated knowledge regarding methods and techniques in the different dimensions of research work, and adopting an interdisciplinary perspective.

The EUCLID online Ph.D. in Instructional Design and Open Learning takes up the challenge of offering a comprehensive doctoral program at the junction of three specialized fields of knowledge and application: (1) open learning in all organizations (2) online education in a university context, and (3) cross-disciplinary challenges of pedagogy, andragogy and information technologies.

On this programme we interrupt theory with practice, and practice with theory – we aim to engage you, intellectually and critically, and with enthusiasm, in a cultural studies project that questions everything.

The Doctoral Program in Multimedia in Education aims to:

Our doctoral program in mass communication, jointly administered with the Department of Life Sciences Communication, is internationally recognized for our faculty and areas of research. Applicants to the Joint Ph.D. in Mass Communications may apply to one or both departments, depending on your areas of research interest.

Ibn Haldun University's Doctoral Program in New Media and Communication provides theoretical information on new media and communication with practical applications to meet industry-specific expectations and requirements and meet the field's academic needs. Students enrolled in the program will be involved in the doctoral process by completing theoretical and practical courses at the doctoral level for two years.

Computational Media and Arts (CMA) are ubiquitous in our daily life and we see them in movies, games, museums, advertisements, news, and many other media experiences. The rapid development of information technology such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, data science, drones, robots, new materials and displays and human-computer interaction has changed the landscape of computational media and arts.
