The Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM) is a
leading centre for research across the disciplines of visual arts and
ceramics, photography, film and digital media. In the 2008 Research
Assessment Exercise, according to Times Higher Education, CREAM is
rated sixth out of 72 art and design research units in the UK and top
art and design research centre in London. CREAM researchers and
practitioners are internationally recognised for their work in ceramic
history and installation, art criticism, sculptural and architectural
installation, photographic history, theory and practice, documentary
and experimental film and new media arts. The CREAM doctoral programme
is at the cutting edge of theory and practice based research and is a
major centre for PhD by practice in the still and moving image area.

based) on a subject of their choice.
