Location of Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge Campus
Publishing postgraduate degrees at Anglia Ruskin are strengthened by our links with the Cambridge Publishing Society (CAMPUS) and with CoDE (Cultures of the Digital Economy) Research Institute. Publishing engages with practices and materials of the book trade and communication and media industries, and as such offers wide scope for exploration of different disciplines. Our PhD in Publishing will not only give you support and scope for developing a thesis on a topic of your choice, but we are also committed to offering training for our students both within the department and at University level.
Within the department we offer sessions on a range of subjects, including:
* writing up a paper for publication
* placing an academic article
* giving a conference paper
* style in the doctorate
* updates on research methods and literature searches
* internet training
* editing skills for doctoral research
* subsequent monograph publication
* dealing with festivals, agents and publishers.
Contents
We host a well-attended postgraduate research seminar which meets regularly to give you 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 offers subject-specific support and training for all postgraduates addition to the generic training offered by our University. Our Department allocates a substantial sum each year towards the support of postgraduates in the form of bursaries and travel or conference expenses.
You will be allocated a supervisory team which will consist of a first and second supervisor, with additional members added if necessary.
Academic supervision is available in most areas connected to Publishing Histories and Practices, and additional professional support from the publishing industry is also a possibility. Our staff can also offer supervision in design, digital media, creative writing practices and cultural theory.
Facilities
We have two new media suites at our Cambridge campus, equipped with software such as InDesign vital for publishing skill development. In addition, we have excellent library resources, online learning tools and a growing network of professional partners. Our University is home to CAMPUS, the Cambridge Publishing Society.
