MPhil Media and Communications

University of Sussex

Explore how media figures in everyday life, politics and culture. You’ll work with expert faculty guiding and supervising you throughout your research project. You’ll join an active research culture engaged in rigorous critical and historical studies of a wide range of media cultures. Areas of study We particularly welcome research proposals in areas such as: social and cultural analysis of media forms, institutions and practices media representation and media audiences advertising and consumption feminist, queer and activist media studies media histories and theories visual, audiovisual and sound cultures. Projects can be co-supervised with faculty in other subject areas as appropriate. 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.
