Course summary

Course overview Enhance your film-making skills on our practice-based Film Studies with Audio-Visual PhD. Film and edit your own practical output (a documentary, feature or portfolio of video work) to demonstrate your research. You'll be supported by academics specialising in Film Studies, plus experienced media technicians and screenwriters. Explore and examine how film can be used to interrogate, teach and learn about the world. You'll bring together your creative, technical and critical abilities, completing the PhD with an original piece of film and a critical analysis.

Supported by our academic experts, you'll develop your practical film-making skills and ability to critically reflect on your work. Wide range of academic expertise across Film and TV, including specialisms in world cinema, film genres, television and audio-visual creative practice. Access our Film Editing Suite with exclusive filmmaking kits and cameras specifically for PhD researchers.
