Location of Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge Campus
We offer research degrees in a range of topics linked to staff expertise in the fields of communication, film, and media studies. Our staff are recognized as experts in their fields, and have produced a number of influential books, journal articles, edited collections and creative works in film and video.
Our programme boasts a vibrant and diverse research culture, and the interdisciplinary nature of research fields creates a rich and stimulating environment for staff and students, with links to a number of other centres in our University and the wider community.
We are key contributors to our Faculty's research groups, including Representation, Identity and the Body (RIB), Anglia Research Centre in Digital Culture (ArcDigital), and to the Cultures of the Digital Economy (CoDE ) Research Institute.
We also host and participate in a variety of research oriented events, including Faculty and Departmental research seminar series, book launches, gallery events, film screenings and international conferences.
We have close links with the Cambridgeshire Film Consortium, the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse, Kettle's Yard, and the University of Cambridge's Centre for Research into Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities (CRASSH), amongst other partnerships.
Contents
You will will be allocated a supervisory team which will consist of a first and second supervisor, with additional members added if necessary.
We host a well-attended postgraduate research seminar, which meets regularly to give students an opportunity to present papers in a supportive setting. This group provides an informal context for postgraduate training and support, but there is also a more formal training programme, which aims to offer subject-specific support and training for all postgraduates as an addition to the generic training offered by Anglia Ruskin. We allocate a substantial sum each year towards the support of postgraduates in the form of bursaries and travel or conference expenses.
Academic supervision is available in most areas of communication, film and media, including practice work.
We have a particularly strong concentration of expertise in the areas of digital media theory and practice; network culture and media research; cinema and sexuality; violence and spectatorship; contemporary European cinema; and music, sound and voice in media and culture.
Facilities
Our programme has a range of excellent facilities, including TV studios, multimedia studios, DVD, video, animation, and 16mm editing suites. Our research students also have access to our outstanding library resources, as well as to the Cambridge University Library and the British Film Institute.
