Film at the University of Southampton is pleased to announce a range of studentships within Southampton’s Faculty of Humanities as well as through the South West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership (SWW DTP).
Southampton has a longstanding reputation for excellence in research in Film Studies, and has consistently been ranked highly in league tables. Join a thriving and substantial community of research students in a prestigious Russell Group university. Our commitment to high quality education for all our students and value them as individuals has led to a number of our successful PhD students publishing their theses as books and securing jobs in universities.
Our staff cover a wide range of different research interests and expertise. Our research activities include national and international collaborative projects, major conferences and world-renowned publications. Our approach towards film and television can be defined by our focus on issues of cultural transfer and exchange, and on the strong perception of audio-visual media as transnational and global phenomena. Our department is also home to the Centre for International Film Research (CIFR) which has staged yearly symposia in London.

· European and world cinema

Italy, Ireland, Scandinavia and Latin America
