interdisciplinary research and research in emerging fields of study and 
creative practice. Our research and training environment encourages our 
doctoral students to develop interdisciplinary methodologies and to 
explore how to integrate their research with developments in digital 
technologies. In addition, our network of partnerships with leading arts 
and humanities organisations and creative industries provides an
