Course Summary

Overview

Our PhD research programmes will allow you to explore your own interests in the area of film and television production, supported by the expertise of our staff.

Informed by your discipline, you’ll critically contextualise your work, clarifying theoretical and practical research-based enquiries, and contributing distinctive new ideas to the field.

You’ll be allocated two supervisors, with additional staff members available if necessary. Our supervisors are experienced in most areas of film and television production, including the management of media SMEs, the effect of digitisation on programme production and distribution, narrative in factual programming, experimental film and video, cinematography and the role of the director of photography, and the 'glass ceiling' in factual programming.

Careers

We’ll provide you with many opportunities for career development and training and encourage you to get involved with external activities like film projects, conference organisation and giving papers.

In conjunction with University research support, you can request specific support for writing-up, conference papers, general research methods and other research skills if you need it.
