Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI)

CAMRI is a world-leading centre for media and communications research

The Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI) has 25 researchers and 50 doctoral students. It 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) – more than any other UK university – with 90 per cent of the total rated "internationally excellent".

CAMRI’s expertise is focused around media policy and economics, media history, and digital media.

CAMRI is noted for its strong international dimension, with interests in the study of global and transnational media. The China Media Centre, Arab Media Centre, India Media Centre and Africa Media Centre provide a focus for high quality research, policy analysis and industry training.

The Institute has a long history of impact and public engagement. We run many events every year, and have strong links with media industries and cultural organisations.
