We are an internationally-recognised centre for the study of all forms of media. Established in 2003 with a £3.1 million grant from SPUR (Support Programme for University Research) we were recognised in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise as being in the top ten of all UK universities for communication, cultural and media studies.

Within the centre, a diverse group of scholars and students from many parts of the world are researching and debating questions of media history; cultural theory; media policy, technologies and practice; politics and power and new media developments.

This site will explain what we do, it showcases our projects and provides details of how to join us and contribute to our growing body of work.
