Our PhD in Film Practice offers a distinctive chance to pursue filmmaking as a practice-based research endeavor.
Newcastle University is expanding its film practice initiatives through FilmCultureLab, spearheaded by acclaimed documentary director Dr. Ian McDonald. FilmCultureLab fosters an innovative approach to nonfiction film education and scholarship, viewing documentary as both artistic medium and social engagement tool for examining and transforming our historical and cultural landscape.
We provide three PhD pathways in Film Practice:

documentary/non-fiction film (see faculty expertise), UK/Indian/South Asian/African documentary traditions, intersections between documentary and sociology/anthropology/cultural studies, sports documentaries
