Film and Screen Studies University of Cambridge

Overview

The Film and Screen Studies programme from the University of Cambridge students join the active and varied film and screen studies research culture and participate in our annual research seminar series. Opportunities to teach on undergraduate film studies papers are made available to PhD students from their second year onwards. Students also take leading roles in organising research events, including an annual postgraduate conference.

Key facts:

• In British universities, the PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is traditionally awarded solely on the basis of a thesis, a substantial piece of writing which reports original research into a closely defined area of enquiry. 

• The completion of the PhD thesis is generally expected to take three to four years.  It's also possible to take a part-time route through research degrees, and the expected timeframe would be five to seven years.
