THE CENTRE FOR MEDIA RESEARCH STUDENT AWARD

All final-year undergraduate students enrolled on the BA Media Communications degree at Bath Spa University are considered for The Centre for Media Research Student Award, a special prize awarded to one student each year whose dissertation research shows exemplary quality, scope and ambition, and which has been creatively reimagined to benefit a wider industry audience.
This winner of the Student Award is invited to publish their dissertation research and creative project, and the winner is presented at our annual Final Year Degree Showcase event. The recipient of the Student Award is agreed by Bath Spa’s Media Communications lecturing team, led by the co-editors of the International Journal of Creative Media Research.
