Research in the Leicester Media School
Leicester Media School is a research intensive division of the university. In the last Research Excellence Framework (REF2016) review, research in the school came first in its panel in terms of ‘world-leading’ (4*) research outputs: almost half received this rating. 100% of our Impact and 90% of our Environment was judged to be ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.
In recent years, researchers in the school have been awarded a number of grants to complete research, and some very recent highlights include:
Interfaces: An EU Culture project within the Creative Europe scheme, running 2016-2019 involving nine partners.
An Innovate UK funded project. 51Âþ» is one of 15 specialist organisations taking part in the project, which is being led by the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).

Research activities are driven by a number of sector-leading institutes and centres based in the school which carry a very broad cross section of media research. These can be accessed via the links below.
