Research

Research in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures is directed through the Centre for the Study of Communications and Cultures (CSCC)|.

Members of CSCC conduct research at the crossroads of media and culture, communication technology, and social change. The emerging digital and globalised world provides a focus for research, which considers a variety of media and cultural forms, ranging from the printed to the digital, from popular to high arts, from multinational to local producers, and from mainstream to alternative media and cultures.

The Centre offers two postgraduate courses – the MA in Cultural Studies| and the MSc in Cultural Studies and Entrepreneurship|, as well as a PhD programme. The Centre is also linked to undergraduate programmes such as the BA (Hons) International Communications Studies| and the BA (Hons) International Relations|.

Together with the core activities of research, teaching and publishing, the Centre organises lectures, seminars and events that are of interest to researchers, professionals and students.
