<https://www.chase.ac.uk/>, of which Birkbeck is a member. Both Home and 
International students are eligible to apply.

*How to apply*

It is critical that you contact a potential supervisor in the first 
instance, as early as possible. Please consult the list of academic 
staff <https://www.bbk.ac.uk/departments/culture/our-staff> in the 
Department of Film, Media and Cultural Studies, and ideally make contact 
with potential supervisors *no later than 15 November 2021*.

When you establish contact, we normally expect you will send a 2,000 
word draft research proposal (see here for additional guidance on 
writing a proposal 
<https://www.bbk.ac.uk/student-services/admissions/phd-applications#0>)

Getting in touch with potential supervisors early will allow adequate 
time for the further development your research proposal, prior to

CHASE application process, with a deadline of 17 December 2021).

*About our research*

Research in the Department of Film, Media and Cultural Studies 
encompasses journalism, film and television, artistic practice and arts 
management, and digital media, culture and design. Our work is 
critically engaged, challenging conventional assumptions about the 
functions and influence of media and culture, scrutinising institutions, 
organisations and work practices in the creative industries, and 
rethinking what media can mean and do.

We place a special emphasis on practice-based research, in which ideas 
and issues are investigated through activities such as creative 
film-making, curatorial practice and digital design. The department is 
thoroughly interdisciplinary, and incorporates both historical research 
and contemporary explorations of our rapidly-changing media landscapes.
