Student Profiles
Richard Misek
Great Britain
PhD in Cinema Studies
"As an international student from Britain, I chose the University of Melbourne because of its international profile and proximity to the heart of Australian film culture. For many years I'd worked as a video editor and film-maker overseas and decided to undertake a PhD to develop my passion for film in new directions and to eventually shift into academia. The breadth of Melbourne's support for postgraduate students is, by international standards, exceptional. With the support of the University's scholarships and research support schemes, I have just returned from a three month research and conference visit to Britain and the Netherlands, where I presented papers at four international conferences. Through Melbourne's international research profile and links with overseas institutions I have secured multiple conference acceptances and also gained leads for possible future publication."
