What you will study

Our PhD in Film Studies will train you in critical and analytical skills, research methods, and knowledge that will equip you for your professional or academic career. It normally takes around three or four years to complete our full-time PhD.

You鈥檒l be assigned a primary and secondary supervisor, who will meet with you regularly to read and discuss your work and make sure that you鈥檙e on track. For us, writing is essential for understanding and developing new perspectives, so you鈥檒l be submitting written work right from the start of your course.

In your first year, you鈥檒l refine your research proposal and plan the structure of your work with the guidance and support of your supervisors. As you go into your second and third year, you鈥檒l gradually learn to work more independently, and your supervisors will guide you on how to present at conferences and get your work published.

As a doctoral student in the School of Literatures and Languages, you鈥檒l receive a structured training programme covering the practical aspects of being a researcher, including grant-writing, publishing in journals, and applying for academic jobs.
