Creative and Critical Practice MPhil

A Creative and Critical Practice MPhil at Sussex develops your practice-led research in creative media production alongside critically engaged writing. Your research might involve a variety of practical approaches including video, photography and imaging, interactive media, sound, social media or process-based performative methods.

At Sussex, you’ll be able to take part in the:

• Centre for Material Digital Culture
• Centre for Photography and Visual Culture
• Centre for Research in Creative and Performing Arts.

You can also participate in the Sussex Humanities Lab, which is dedicated to developing and expanding interdisciplinary research at the cutting edge of digital humanities and digital media. In Brighton, you’ll join a vibrant community for the arts and creative industries.

AREAS OF STUDY

We offer expert supervision across a wide range of critical and creative practice:

• filmmaking and documentary forms
• digital arts
• photography
• media practice for development and social change
• sonic media.

For an MPhil, your work is an independent piece of research but in less depth than for a PhD. You’ll graduate with the degree title Master of Philosophy. You might be able to change to a PhD while you study for an MPhil.
