Overview
A Creative Writing PhD often draws on other disciplines, so a PhD candidate may have a second supervisor from History, Media, Life Sciences, or any other discipline at the University of Hertfordshire.
What’s next for my career?
- You will be able to develop a substantial, original and creative research project with the help and support of academics who are active researchers and writers themselves.
- You will acquire extensive subject expertise and independent research skills, honed over an extended period.
- You will join a thriving School of Creative Arts and become part of a burgeoning research culture. As a postgraduate student, you are invited to attend and participate in regular reading series, seminars and international conferences hosted by the Creative Writing group.
- All our students are encouraged to present work at national and international conferences and to submit their research for publication.
Programme Structure
Structure:
- The critical work might take the form of a critical investigation of a related author or authors’ work or an investigation of the PhD’s candidate’s own creative practice and the practical or theoretical underpinnings of the creative work.
- The creative work should be a fully realised work of literature, whether in prose, poetry or drama. The creative work thus is research into creative practice and therefore makes an original contribution to knowledge.
