Overview

Students in the Media (including by practice) from University of Lincoln are able to engage in a structured programme of training to develop practical and critical skills, while benefiting from the School’s research expertise spanning media and cultural studies, film and television, and media and heritage.

An experienced supervisory team can offer support and guidance on research and/or practice, funding opportunities, attending conferences, exhibitions and screening, and publishing or exhibiting work in recognised journals and at events.

How You Study

Due to the nature of postgraduate research programmes, the majority of time is spent in independent study and research. Students will have meetings with their academic supervisor(s), but the frequency of these will vary depending on individual requirements, subject area, staff availability, and stage of programme.

Programme Structure

Within film and television studies, research interests include television histories, gender and queer theory, race and representation, televisual fame, British cinema, African cinema, national and transnational cinemas, exploitation/experimental/marginal cinema, Hollywood cinema and star studies, children’s film and television, film and/as practice, script, and screenwriting theory.
