Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI)

CAMRI is a global centre for media and social change

It has 25 researchers and 50 doctoral students, and provides expertise in media policy and economics, media history, and media audiences. CAMRI has a strong international dimension, with interests in the study of global and transnational media.

The China Media Centre and Arab Media Centre provide a focus for high quality research, policy analysis and industry training. CAMRI is also developing work in Indian and African media. The Media Audiences Centre is a new initiative for research into contemporary audience transformations.

CAMRI is ranked as the leading centre of media and communications research in the UK. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008), 60 per cent of our research was judged to be "world-leading" (four stars), with 90 per cent of the total rated "internationally excellent". CAMRI had more "world leading" media and communications research than any other UK university.
