Cultural and Media Studies University of Huddersfield

Overview

Choosing a specific project to study gives you a greater degree of independence in your work.  

Allowing you to explore a research topic over a shorter time, than a more in-depth doctoral programme.

This Cultural and Media Studies programme at the University of Huddersfield prepares you for the structure and expectations of doctoral research.

What is involved in an MSc by Research degree?

• You’ll be expected to work to an approved programme which you will develop in conjunction with your supervisor within the first few months of starting your studies. Whilst undertaking the research project you will also develop your research skills by taking part in training courses and events.

• You will be appointed a main supervisor who will normally be part of a team, comprising up to three members. The research supervisor will advise and support you on your project.

• At the end of the project, you write up your findings in the form of a short thesis of around 25,000 words, which will then be examined.

• Our research degrees are available to study full and part-time, and some are offered as distance learning.
