*How to apply*

The best proposals are developed jointly with your potential supervisor, 
so you must contact them 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 1 October 2022.

Getting in touch with potential supervisors early will allow adequate 
time for the further development your research proposal, and for weaving 
that proposal into the specific requirements of UBEL DTP applications.

*About our research*

Research in the Department of Film, Media and Cultural Studies 
encompasses journalism, film and television, artistic practice and 
cultural policy, and digital media politics, 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.
