Research Student Scholarship, Faculty of Arts

Applications are invited for a Scholarship in the Faculty of Arts, University of Plymouth for postgraduate research (MPhil/PhD) in collaboration with our partners, Pyramid Presentations. The title of the project is: Multimedia for display within 360° panoramic and immersive environments’ commencing on 1 October 2009.

The project will investigate new content potentials and technological developments that enhance the public and commercial display of innovative multimedia within 360° panoramic and immersive environments. The project will provide the opportunity to develop practical and demonstrable outcomes from the theoretical research. These outcomes would be presented within the IDA 360 (360° Immersive Digital Arena) a touring multimedia space that represents a collaborative venture between the University’s ICCI (Innovation for the Creative & Cultural Industries) and Pyramid Presentations, a highly respected event and audio visual production company.

The Scholarship (comprising UK/EU fees plus a maintenance grant – currently£13,290 per annum) will be awarded to a new, full time student for 3 years (subject to satisfactory progress). Applications from non-UK/EU students are welcome, with the expectation that funds have been secured to meet the difference in fee level.
