Research in the School of PCI is organised through three interacting research groups covering the domain of Performance and Cultural Industries.  These groups are hubs for early career researchers, mid-career academics and senior research leaders and all postgraduate research students are identified with at least one group.

We pride ourselves on a vibrant research-led approach to teaching which informs all our programmes from Undergraduate to Postgraduate. We have a lively and expanding postgraduate research community and have been particularly successful in recent years in securing postgraduate scholarships from funding bodies, with a hundred per cent record of success in the Collaborative Doctoral Award scheme run by the AHRC.

More information on the individual research missions of the Research Groups in the School is available below. Click on one of the Group names for details of the research group and its members.

The School of Performance & Cultural Industries Research Groups

The fundamental interrelationship of these Groups is a key feature of our distinctive identity. The research ethos of the School is based on the development of specialisms within each Group, combined with the active pursuit of collaborations across them and with other researchers in the Faculty and University.
