Postgraduate Opportunities
Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies
From September 2009
Firmly located in Wales, and with an established international profile
across its constituent disciplines, the 2001 RAE -5 rated Department
of Theatre, Film and Television Studies provides a vibrant research
environment for postgraduate study.
The Department's established reputation for conducting leading-edge,
international quality research makes TFTS an ideal place to pursue
doctoral study. We offer supervision and research training in both
English and Welsh, focussing on topics such as: Landscape, environment
and site-specific performance; Welsh and minority-language theatre,
film and television; National and trans-national processes of
production and contexts of reception; Broadcasting structures;
histories and regulatory policies; Alternative and experimental
theatre; and film and television drama.
PhD research may be practice-led, or through written thesis. PhD
students in the Department receive funding from a number of sources:
AHRC, Aberystwyth University, independent charities, employers and
overseas providing bodies. We offer support and guidance in making
applications to such organisations, and augment the opportunities they
provide through a number of TFTS doctoral studentships awarded to
outstanding students who have made excellent applications to other
funding sources. The TFTS studentships are designed to cover three
years fulltime fees and maintenance, benchmarked to ensure equivalence
with the AHRC (currently £12, 600).
