We welcome proposals for research in any area connected with media, communications, digital media, cultural theory and practice. We aim to engage you, intellectually and critically, and with enthusiasm, in a media or cultural studies project that questions everything.
The MPhil/PhD programme offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of media, communications and culture. We'll introduce you to a wide variety of perspectives and traditions, animated via a creative interface between disciplines.
We give priority to those with proposals for research within the areas of interest of our staff.
Research degrees in this department have two elements:
Supervisors and their students form loose research teams, sometimes on a joint basis with another group. When you apply, please indicate your intended research area and any preference for a particular supervisor.
You'll be assessed by a thesis and viva voce.
Careers
We aim to develop your skills to be able to express yourself creatively and self-critically in theoretical and/or practice work. You'll develop research skills, presentation skills, an understanding of the workings of the media and their broad cultural and social impacts and an understanding of the pleasures of media consumption.
If you're focussing more on Cultural Studies research topics, you'll also develop skills in ethnography and cultural research, and be able to deploy these to articulate your appreciation of crucial debates in the public domains of the media, the culture industries, formal and informal institutions and in the wider contemporary cultural scene.
Students should normally have (or expect to be awarded) a taught Masters in a relevant subject area. Students might also be considered for some programmes if you aren’t a graduate or your degree is in an unrelated field, but have relevant experience and can show that you have the ability to work at postgraduate level.
