*_The Department of Communication and Media at the University of 
Liverpool _*
The University of Liverpool was one of the first universities in Britain 
to offer Communication and Media Studies as an academic subject, 
starting in the mid-1970s, and over the last five years the Department 
has considerably expanded. REF 2021 results recorded an impressive 89% 
of research rated as world-leading or internationally excellent (4* and 
3*). These results place the Department of Communication and Media in 
the top quartile for 4*overall (Outputs, Impact & Environment). Our 
vibrant research environment is reflected in a thriving Postgraduate 
Research community, with students pursuing a wide range of topics. As 
part of the School of the Arts, the Department benefits from research 
collaborations with all other Departments in the School and Departments 
across the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in co-supervising 
PGR students and co-leading cutting-edge research projects. We host

co-supervision for a number of XJTLU-based (China) projects.
