Overview

With access to specialist supervision, excellent resources and a vibrant research community, students' time at Kent will be enjoyable and stimulating. Students will conduct original research under the guidance of a team of specialist supervisors. The University of Kent welcomes enquiries on any topic, and provides students with excellent research resources to enable them to complete research. Students produce a piece of film practice, which may be a digital film, a screenplay, a series of exploratory audio-visual works, audio-visual documentation of creative processes relating to film or a combination of these, and a written thesis of up to 40,000 words. Students will have a minimum of two supervisors who support and guide students through their academic and professional development throughout their studies. Students meet regularly with their supervisors, who not only supervise research project but help students to identify parts of their research and development where they may require further training or support. A series of reviews take place throughout the duration of studies in order to ensure that students' research project stays on track and that they have all the necessary support and resources required to successfully complete it. Recent and ongoing research supervision projects include 'Creating Imaginary Media’, ‘A Sense of Place: Identity and Cinematic Representation of Britain’s Forgotten Towns and Non-Places’, ‘Essaying Place: Landscape, Time and the Journey in the Essay Film’, ‘To Observe, to Interfere or to Collaborate: Reframing the Notion of Home Through Documentary Film’, ‘Images of the Future: Interpreting the Ballardian World through Film’ and ‘Intimate Cinema: Techniques, Conventions, and Aesthetics of Screen Performance in Digital Film'.
