Centre for Excellence in Media Practice

Description

The Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (CEMP) is a research centre based in the Faculty of Media and Communication at Bournemouth University. It was awarded Centre of Excellence status in 2004 by the Higher Education Funding Council (now Research England).

CEMP delivers research projects funded by media organisations, charities, research councils, government departments and the private sector. Our research spans media, communication and journalism, with a focus on our key themes:

Media work, media management and media industry practices
Media education and professional development
Creative practice and practice-led research
Sustainability and ethics within media and communication practice
Media, politics and social change

The CEMP team consists of Bournemouth University academics and doctoral students, working with an active team of Visiting Professors and Visiting Fellows. Members of the centre and our doctoral researchers publish widely in journals, books and edited collections.

CEMP convenes the Media Education Summit, and supports a professional doctorate programme (Ed D) for media, creative arts and technology educators and practitioners. In addition to the Ed D programme, members of the centre are interested in proposals for PhD projects related to our research themes.
