> Media and Film at Sussex is one of the leading departments in the UK 
> in the field of media theory, practice and research. We have a 
> firmly established reputation in both teaching and research, built 
> on our distinctive interdisciplinary approach. In the 2008 national 
> research assessment exercise (RAE) our results were excellent, 
> placing us joint 8th out of 47 UK departments, and in the top 5 
> according to a 'Research Power' rating based on the top two RAE 
> bands. 100% of our research activity in Media and Film was rated as 
> 'internationally recognised', internationally excellent' or 'world 
> leading'. Our Department is regularly ranked in the top 10 in the UK 
> (eg. in 'The  Complete University Guide 2008').
> In our engagements with the media we explore, interrogate and bring 
> together theoretical, critical and methodological traditions drawn 
> from the humanities, social sciences and creative practices. The 
> special focus of our work is on the decisive cultural role of media 
> systems within modern societies. We have a thriving research culture 
> that currently includes around 50 doctoral students, and the AHRC 
> judges our training and supervision to be 'excellent'. Our brand new 
> production facilities are state of the art and we have a dedicated 
> media and film library. We also have links with many Brighton-based, 
> national and international creative and media organisations.
