of our key research areas. As part of their application process, 
prospective candidates will be

required to submit a PhD proposal in one of the following areas:

Digital Humanities

Digital Performance and Production

Social Media and Network Politics

CoDE is a network of academics working in media theory and network

performance, serious gaming and

digital text, combined with scientific contributions from colleagues 
involved with design and

The Institute fosters a critical and experimental interdisciplinary 
research environment and through

projects, seminars and published research aims to explore the role of 
current and emerging

technologies in a creative context.

CoDE is a crucible for thinking outside traditional disciplinary 
boundaries and a catalyst for

establishing connections with industry and local, national and 
international communities. Its

location in Cambridge provides it with excellent potential for 
collaboration with entertainment,

technological, scientific, arts and the heritage industries.

Successful applicants will receive a bursary at the AHRC rate*; a fee 
waiver; and access to

dedicated postgraduate office space.
