Creative and Critical Writing (PhD)

Cardiff University

The PhD Programme in Creative and Critical Writing is for students and writers wishing to complete a substantial creative work of marketable quality. Our own MA in Creative Writing provides an ideal basis for students wishing to undertake a PhD. The PhD programme at Cardiff caters to individuals keen to join a thriving community of writers-from novelists and memoirists to poets and scriptwriters-all of whom share the common purpose of immersing themselves in the composition of a substantial piece of creative research. The programme includes a compulsory critical element in which students relate the creative work they produce to its wider critical and cultural contexts and evaluate the conceptual and theoretical contribution the work represents.
