MPhil/PhD in English and Creative Writing

University of Chichester

Studying English literature and/or Creative Writing at PhD or MPhil level enables you to contribute culturally, intellectually and imaginatively to the world around you, developing exceptional transferable skills along the way. Here at the University of Chichester, you will be part of a thriving research culture, underpinned by longstanding research excellence and a wide range of regular training sessions, reading groups, and visiting speakers. You will also be able to take advantage of our unique and highly active research centres, through which you will be able to connect with like-minded people, share ideas and hear about the latest work in the field. Among others, these include the internationally-recognised Iris Murdoch Research Centre, the Chichester Centre for Folklore, Fairy Tale and Fantasy, and the Chichester Centre for Critical and Creative Writing. As a PhD or MPhil student, you will be able to work with critics and writers whose work is known both nationally and internationally. You will be allocated a supervisory team of at least two members of appropriately qualified academic staff, one of whom will be your Director of Studies.
