Doctor of Philosophy - Media Studies

Victoria University of Wellington

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree involves original and sustained research, mentored by an academic supervisor. It’s an opportunity to make new discoveries, address some of the big issues of our time, challenge yourself, and develop a mix of transferable and specialised skills. The media plays an increasingly vital and influential role in our rapidly changing world. Almost every sphere of human activity-social, cultural, political and economic-is being reshaped by new forms of media. Take an in-depth look at what media is today and how it impacts our lives. You’ll complete research in an area of media that interests you, under the direct supervision of our expert academic staff. Develop the research skills needed to plan and execute original projects and gain a deeper understanding of the media studies field. At Victoria's School of English, Film, Theatre, and Media Studies you'll learn from and work with highly regarded academics with international reputations for teaching, research and publishing.
