Research at Worcester has grown significantly in recent years. We aim to produce research that is distinctive, socially and culturally relevant, and that influences national agendas. We continually strive to develop new areas of research excellence while, in certain areas, our work has already been acknowledged as world-leading. Our Institute of Arts and Humanities academics have an extensive experience supervising a variety of topics which includes topics as diverse as literary adaptation, folklore, horror cinema, exploitation cinema, European cinema, genre, cult movies, and popular television. After receiving your application, we try to establish if we have the necessary expertise to supervise your project and we begin to form a supervisory team for you. This will normally consist of a Director of Studies (DoS), who will be your lead supervisor, and at least one other supervisor, who will offer you additional support and guidance throughout your studies.
