Key Summary

    About : The MPhil/PhD in Cultural Studies program focuses on examining cultural phenomena through diverse perspectives. Students will engage in critical research and scholarship, developing a strong understanding of various cultural practices and their societal impacts. This program prepares individuals for in-depth investigations, with an emphasis on theory and methodology.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue various career paths, including roles in academia as researchers or lecturers, positions in cultural institutions, and opportunities in media and publishing. Other potential careers include policy-making, program development, and community engagement within cultural organizations.

On this programme we interrupt theory with practice, and practice with theory – we aim to engage you, intellectually and critically, and with enthusiasm, in a cultural studies project that questions everything.

The MPhil/PhD programme offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of culture. We'll introduce you to a wide variety of perspectives and traditions, animated via a creative interface between disciplines.

You'll develop a fundamental grounding in social and cultural theory, cultural studies and cultural research, as well as skills in ethnography, digital media, textual and audio-visual analysis.

The programme encourages you to deploy these methods to articulate your appreciation of crucial debates in the public domains of the media, the culture industries, formal and informal institutions, and in the wider contemporary cultural scene.

Many students write text-based theses, but approximately one third of our candidates produce theses that incorporate practical work in media and/or arts.
