Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The Story Foundry PhD places narrative-based practice at the centre of the research process.

It enables individuals with specific artistic or scientific practices to re-engage with critical/narrative writing in new and imaginative ways.

This opens up a vast amount of possibility for new knowledge to occur across disciplines.

You'll develop a PhD that has the potential to impact areas of professional practice, the arts and industry, as well as the academic field.

Our interdisciplinary research environment will provide you with the space to develop an innovative approach to research that would not be possible in academic courses which focus on just one discipline.
