AHRC Masters Studentships (Research Preparation Masters)
In 2009, the University of Sussex was awarded a

following five years within an AHRC Block Grant Partnership award.
This year, the School of Media, Film and Music
will be offering 1 Research Preparation Masters in each of the following:
Cultural Studies

Film, Digital and Media Production
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.
Studentships
The Research Preparation Masters awards are
intended to support students undertaking
Master's courses that focus on advanced study
and research training explicitly intended to
provide a foundation for further research at
doctoral level. Full and partial awards are
available Masters awards. A full award covers
fees and an annual, tax free stipend of £9,280
(2009/10 rates). A partial award covers fees
only. To see if you would be eligible for a
full or partial award, please see the AHRC's
student eligibility criteria. If you are a part
time student, support is pro rata.
