The Centre for Media Research at Bath Spa University welcomes 
applications from prospective students within the fields of film, 
television, media, publishing and cultural studies, through its 
involvement in the AHRC South West and Wales Doctoral Training 
Partnership (SWW2 DTP). The partnership gives the Arts and Humanities 
researcher access to the experience, funding and skills that are 
essential for success in this new collaborative research world.

The Centre for Media Research 
<https://www.bathspa.ac.uk/schools/liberal-arts/research/centre-for-media-research/> 
supports innovative, multi-perspectival research projects that take 
theoretical and/or practice-based approaches, and benefits from a number 
of specialist research clusters. Research students will have the 
opportunity to join these clusters and take part in a range of our 
research activities, including symposia, conferences and public 
engagement events. Research students will also have the opportunity to 
contribute to and join the editorial team of our /International Journal 
of Creative Media Research 
<https://www.creativemediaresearch.org/aims-scope>,/ an 
interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed and open access journal devoted to 
pushing forward the approaches to and possibilities for publishing 
creative media-based research. Our interdisciplinary research clusters 
comprise: Digital Materialities, Film & Social Context, and Play & 
Multiplatform. Learn more about the Centre, including its supervisory 
staff specialisms, here

We also welcome proposals that have an interdisciplinary and

themes of Creative Industries and Environmental Humanities. The Centre 
for Media Research has strong links with the Centre for Creative 
Industries' South West Creative Technology Network 
<https://www.bathspa.ac.uk/research-and-enterprise/research-centres/centre-for-cultural-and-creative-industries/southwest-creative-technology-network/>
