of our key research areas. As part of their application process, prospective candidates will be

required to submit a PhD proposal in one of the following areas:

Digital Humanities

Digital Performance and Production

Play and Serious Gaming

Social Media and Network Politics

CoDE is a network of academics working in media theory and network culture, media archaeology,

digital music and video, fine arts, video games, production and performance, serious gaming and

digital text, combined with scientific contributions from colleagues involved with design and

technology, audio engineering and computer design and animation.

The Institute fosters a critical and experimental interdisciplinary research environment and through

projects, seminars and published research aims to explore the role of current and emerging

technologies in a creative context.

CoDE is a crucible for thinking outside traditional disciplinary boundaries and a catalyst for

establishing connections with industry and local, national and international communities. Its

location in Cambridge provides it with excellent potential for collaboration with entertainment,
