- gender and ageing in screen media
- US and European film history
- ‘heritage’ culture in film and TV
- cult film and TV
- the contemporary Western
- sci-fi TV

Study style
You’ll have the opportunity to choose between a research-based or practice-based project. For example, write a thesis of 80,000 words for the research-based PhD or, for the practice-based option, create a piece of content or stage a multi-media event and accompany it with a much-shorter written component. As a practice-based student, you’ll have access to our state-of-the-art studios and equipment.
