Location of University of Kent, Canterbury Campus

Postgraduate students are supervised via a research team through regular meetings. Research supervision draws on wide staff interests in North American, European, and Latin American cinemas, offering opportunities to study projects based in aesthetic, conceptual and historical perspectives on film and digital media, as well as practice by research. For further details, see staff research interests.

In addition, research students participate in a series of regular events. These include work-inprogress seminars and professional development workshops, both of which are subject specific. Research students are also able to enrol on the Graduate School's Transferable Skills Training Programme. Our research students also actively participate in the Film Research Seminar, which brings leading scholars and practitioners to Kent. We also hold an annual postgraduate presentation day.

Film Studies at Kent has excellent viewing and library facilities, with a large number of films screened weekly during term on 35mm, DVD and video. The Templeman Library has extensive book and specialist journal holdings in film and related areas; there is also a large and growing reference collection of film on video and DVD, with individual and group viewing facilities. The department also benefits from the presence of the Gulbenkian Cinema on campus, which runs a programme of new releases and classics.

In 2010, we moved into the purpose-built, and RIBA award-winning, Jarman Building located at the centre of the Canterbury campus. The new building is home to a range of professional standard editing and studio facilities plus a dedicated postgraduate centre and a range of teaching and social spaces.
