[ecrea] AHRC Studentships at the University of Sussex

Thu Mar 05 15:14:03 GMT 2009



The Department of Media and Film at Sussex is pleased to offer AHRC-funded doctoral studentships in the following subject areas: in Film and Television ; Film, Digital and Media Production; and Cultural Studies, together with an AHRC-funded Research Preparation Masters studentship in Cultural Studies.

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.
