Research in the School of Culture and Creative Arts
We are a leading research School in the University of Glasgow’s College of Arts and Humanities, excelling in Film and Television Studies, Cultural Industries, Theatre Studies, Music and History of Art. CCA is also home to two world-class research centres – the Centre for Cultural Policy Research and the Kelvin Centre for Conservation and Cultural Heritage Research.
In REF 2021, the overwhelming majority of our research was recognised as being either ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.
Diverse in form, our interdisciplinary work unites cultural, critical and creative research, blending traditional arts scholarship with cutting-edge forms of practice-research and policy enquiry. Our collaborative projects engage with a wide range of industry and community partners as well as researchers from other disciplines, making key contributions to College research themes that include Culture and Creativity, Landscape and Environment, Medical Humanities and Digital Humanities.
This work is fostered through our close engagement with ArtsLab and involvement in or leadership of cross-disciplinary projects supported by the AHRC, ESRC, Wellcome, NERC and other external funding bodies.
With a research community ranging from early-career academics to internationally recognised senior scholars, we welcome post-graduate students and visiting scholars to join us in Glasgow.
