A PhD or MPhil in Media and Communication at Swansea enables you to undertake a substantial project led by your own passions and interests.
It represents a highly respected qualification which can present a pathway to a career in academia, or widen your scope for employment in fields such as media and communication, education, government or the private sector.
The PhD takes three years full-time or six years part-time, and the MPhil takes two years full-time or four years part-time.
You submit a thesis of up to 90,000 words for PhD assessment and 60,000 words for MPhil assessment, demonstrating original research. This is followed by an oral examination of the thesis (a viva voce examination, or viva).
In both programmes you will undertake original research, supervised by our expert, culminating in a thesis that makes an original contribution to the field of media and communication.
Our staff are members of the research group, Centre on Digital Arts and Humanities (CODAH).
Our expertise includes:
- Film studies, in particular European cinema and Hollywood
- Global media, journalism and international communication
- Digital media and social activism
- Migration and communication
- Digital media
- The history and philosophy of technology
