PhD Media and Communications

Explore how media figures in everyday life, politics and culture. You’ll work with expert faculty guiding and supervising you throughout your research project. You’ll join an active research culture engaged in rigorous critical and historical studies of a wide range of media cultures.

AREAS OF STUDY

We particularly welcome research proposals in areas such as:

• social and cultural analysis of media forms, institutions and practices
• media representation and media audiences
• advertising and consumption
• feminist, queer and activist media studies
• media histories and theories
• visual, audiovisual and sound cultures.

Projects can be co-supervised with faculty in other subject areas as appropriate.

For a PhD, your research work makes a substantial original contribution to knowledge or understanding in your chosen field.
