What will I learn?

Our PhD Creative Writing programme gives you the opportunity to work on a significant piece of creative writing while developing your research skills. You will benefit from creative supervision by an experienced poet or fiction writer and draw on the range of expertise within the University to find a supervisor for your critical element. There are two elements to the programme. The first is a creative element that can be a novel or a collection of short stories of up to 100,000 words, or a book-length collection of poetry of up to 60 poems.
