A Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is an excellent precursor to a PhD and undertaking this kind of two-year course with the Faculty of Media & Communication will give you access to experts and resources in a wide range of media and communications fields, as well as law.

There is strong potential for collaborative research that sees you crossing boundaries both within the sector and across all of our faculties, allowing you to deliver insightful and impactful research. 

Undertaking a research degree will not only allow you to carry out research in a specialist field, it will also equip you with a range of transferable skills that can be applied to roles within project management, commercial research and development, or consultancy services.

You may also decide that you would like to pursue a career within academia, developing the research that you undertake during your MPhil and sharing your expertise with others who have an interest in a similar field.
