About Media, PhD - at University of West London

Course summary

The London School of Film, Media and Design offers the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) by individual research within the areas of expertise of the School's teaching staff.

The combination of theoretical and practical research specialisms in the department means we are able and happy to support either written or practice-based PhD work, which could include elements of archival research, film or exhibition practice.

• Training in research methods
• University and school resources
• Auditing of one or more MA modules
• Teaching opportunities, where feasible
• The School's research seminars and annual staff-doctoral symposium
