Centre for Cultural and Creative Research (CCCR)
The principles of CCCR
CCCR exists to support theoretical and practice-based research in the following subject areas:
Creative and Media Writing
Film
Media and Media Practice
Television
Theatre and Performance
Alongside research aimed at producing a conventional written thesis, applications are warmly welcomed for studies which take practice-as-research approaches to any of these areas.
Initial enquiries should be sent to Dr Justin Smith, who will direct you to specific areas of research expertise.
