Hide-As part of the doctoral training available on the Structured PhD programme, students avail themselves of a range of interdisciplinary taught modules. The wide menu of available options include modules that:
are discipline-specific in that they augment the student’s existing knowledge in their specialist area
are dissertation-specific in that they supply core skills which are essential to completion of the research project, e.g., additional language skills
acknowledge a student’s professional development, e.g., presentation of a paper at an international conference
enhance a student’s employability through generic training, e.g., careers workshops, computer literacy.
Each student will be assigned a primary Supervisor(s) and a Graduate Research Committee made up of experienced researchers to plan their programme of study and to provide on-going support to their research.
The Huston School encourages PhD degree applications.
The aim of this four-year, full-time research programme is the generation of a contribution to knowledge and understanding in Film, Television and Digital Media by means of academic research. During the programme, students receive training in research methods and complete a thesis based on a key research question. The length of the thesis is normally 60,000 to 80,000 words. The duration of research is usually four years.
