Our Film Practice PhD provides you with a unique opportunity to develop your film as a practice-led research project.


Newcastle University is a leading centre for the growth of Film Practice PhDs in the UK.


Building on the ambitious development of film practice, we work under the banner of Film@CultureLab.


Led by award-winning documentary filmmaker Dr Ian McDonald, we've established a distinctive approach to non-fiction film education practice and research.


This is grounded in an understanding of documentary film as a cinematic medium, and filmmaking as a mode of expression, critique, and social and historical intervention.


Film@CultureLab PhD scholars are based in Culture Lab.


You’ll have access to the superb facilities in Culture Lab and join a vibrant community of practice-led PhD scholars in film practice.


PhD students are encouraged to regularly present their work to each other as part of the PhD student-led Research Roundtable ‘Work-in-Progress’ events held throughout the year.


You will be part of Media, Culture, Heritage in the School of Arts and Cultures; a dynamic group of experienced academic researchers, heritage practitioners, doctoral researchers and fellow students from around the world.
