The researchers in Media, Culture and Society have a long-standing research focus on media history and theory alongside politics and gender. More recently we have developed new capacities in digital media and mediations. Our distinctive new research focus on digital media and mediations has investigated the interdisciplinary affinities between media studies, translation studies and software studies as a means of charting new territory, opening a fresh line of research on media localisation and accessibility, and developing our collaborations with industry partners.<br>A PhD is for students who wish to devise an independent research project which will result in an original contribution to knowledge in the subject area. Students can study on a full-time or a part-time basis and programmes begin in October and January.<br><br>You will be expected to have formulated an outline research proposal only at the application stage. You will spend the first months of your course developing your proposal under the guidance of your supervisory team.
