Centre for Research in Communication and Culture (CRCC)

We are an interdisciplinary community interested in how communication and culture shape the key challenges of our times. Since 1991, we have developed into the largest research centre of this kind in the UK. The 2021 Research Excellence Framework ranked us 5th in the UK and the 2022 QS World University Ranking placed us in the top 100 for communications and media research.
