The University of Brighton cultivates a vibrant research environment in film and screen studies, nurturing national archives while offering analytical perspectives spanning practice, theory, and historical contexts. The institution facilitates PhD research initiatives covering diverse facets of film, screen media, and popular culture.
Our methodology embraces textual analysis (in its broadest interpretation), technological aspects, industry dynamics, and audience engagement. Scholarly expertise encompasses investigations into silent cinema, UK television heritage, media convergence, visual culture, digital platforms, political movements, and identity discourse.
Brighton's interdisciplinary scholars critically examine modern media culture evolution, employing theoretical frameworks from literary studies, performance arts, mass entertainment, visual media, social sciences, and public discourse analysis.

Qualification Requirements
The entry requirements for the PhD are: a recognised Master’s degree with a significant research component, for example MPhil from another university, or similar qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant or substantial appropriate research or professional experience at postgraduate level which resulted in published work, written reports or other appropriate evidence of accomplishment. An application made by someone with this experience will be considered on its merits and will normally require independent academic references or, unless a School exercises their right to specify more stringent entry requirements, we may consider a first or upper second honours degree or other qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant. Research degrees in Arts and Humanities and Health Professions require 7.0 overall, 7 for writing, and none below 6.5.
