Join the growing research culture in Journalism Studies at Sussex and explore the practices, politics and impact of journalism in a wide range of contexts. You’ll work with experienced faculty guiding and supervising you throughout your research project. Areas of study We particularly welcome research proposals in: news journalism political communications journalism and the military journalism and intelligence investigative journalism media and protest. Projects can be co-supervised by faculty in other subject areas as appropriate. For an MPhil, your work is an independent piece of research but in less depth than for a PhD.
