It also has strong links with Hollywood studios such as Fox Searchlight and Lionsgate, and UK media companies like Red Bee Media, where unique internship opportunities are available to students on the MA in Film, Television and Screen Industries. Building on its close industry connections, the department is home to the Institute for Screen Industries Research
The department welcomes applicants interested in a range of topics across the research programme and all members of academic staff are active researchers willing to supervise students in their areas of expertise. Many of our research students publish high-quality books and articles and have secured teaching positions in universities both in the UK and abroad. Current and recent students in the department have worked on a variety of topics including video games and cult film, US and UK television audiences, romantic comedy, media memory of World War II, and the representation of matrimony in Indian film and television.
The Department of Culture, Film and Media welcomes applications from students who wish to pursue MRes or PhD degrees in the areas of film and television studies, cultural studies, media studies and critical theory. These research programmes form a central and thriving part of the department’s activities, with over 40 students currently enrolled, either full-time or part-time. Research students come to Nottingham from the UK and overseas, including the EU, the Middle and Far East, Latin America and the United States. With their diversity of cultural and disciplinary backgrounds, they constitute a rich, rewarding and supportive postgraduate community.
All research students are involved in the Postgraduate Professional Development Programme, which includes weekly work-in-progress seminars.
