Overview
The PhD in Film, Screen and Popular Culture from University of Brighton offers PhD study in both full and part-time modes and welcome students with significant professional experience, who are able to use and share the career skills they have developed, as well as those who have recently completed first degrees and wish to take advantage of their academic momentum.
Recent, successful PhDs in film and screen studies have covered a range of areas, including structures in Hollywood scriptwriting, convergence across transnational children’s franchises, urban architecture and science-fiction cinema, documentary filmmaking, filmic autobiography, and LGBTQ+ online cultures.
Research supervisors for your doctorate in film and screen studies:
- You will benefit from research supervision comprising two or maximum three members of academic staff.
- As well as film, screen and broadcast media academics, supervision can also be aligned to cross-disciplinary work with one supervisory expert in, for example, photography, digtal media arts practices, heritage technologies, literature, art history, cultural studies, politics or philosophy.
- Some PhD students have also had a third supervisor from outside the university, for example an expert from the media industries.
