Hull's Film Studies program is an innovative academic department that provides PhD opportunities across diverse areas such as television studies, American film, animation, horror genres, and adaptation research. Our doctoral candidates receive guidance from leading specialists who frequently appear in film-related media broadcasts and have presented at prestigious venues like the National Film Theatre and universities worldwide.
The department organizes ongoing film and media research seminars and previously hosted a major international conference commemorating Ealing Studios' 75th anniversary. A recent £9.5 million upgrade transformed Middleton Hall into a premier cultural complex featuring cutting-edge cinema technology with immersive audio. This investment provides Hull with exceptional facilities including a surround-sound theater, performance hall, ambisonic studio, and professional-grade recording spaces. The renovation features a modern entrance and café, with the 400+ capacity cinema and concert venue as its focal point. This adaptable space perfectly accommodates film screenings, musical performances, and theatrical productions.
