Our new research Masters of Fine Art (MFA) and Doctorate of Fine Art (DFA) build on a long history of offering Masters and Doctoral options in the study and practice of Creative Writing.

Our research degrees incorporate hybrid taught elements (literary and practical seminars; workshops; and practical pedagogy) within a supervised research context that best support your creative and critical work.

Both programmes give you dedicated, supported time to complete a substantial creative work, include opportunities to teach writing to undergraduates and apply to be a graduate teaching assistant for other literature courses, and the DFA additionally allows you to undertake an extended academic research, informed by your work and practice, leading to a significant critical essay or output.

Our students enjoy the guidance of writers including Carolyn Jess-Cooke, Laura Marney, Elizabeth Reeder, Jeffrey Robinson, Michael Schmidt, and Zoe Strachan, and critics such as John Coyle, Jane Goldman, Rob Maslen, Alan Riach, and Helen Stoddart.

Across all our postgraduate provision, both taught and by research, students have access to the best of the new and also develop a sense of the origins and histories.

Resources

Teaching and research in the Arts and Humanities are supported by the outstanding resources of our University Library with its special collections and our on-campus Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery.

Our close links and partnerships with Glasgow Life and the city’s many museums, art galleries, performing arts and music venues, international festivals and creative industry organisations make the University of Glasgow the ideal place for the postgraduate study of the arts.

The Creative Writing programme is offered at the University of Glasgow.

Our School of Health and Human Sciences offers a multidisciplinary environment with an excellent reputation for research and teaching. Within our School, our educational provision meets professional regulatory requirements and achieves high standards. We do so by having staff that are multi-professional, including clinically-qualified lecturers, sociologists and social policy and management specialists, so they have clinical and academic credibility.

A unique feature of our School is that many of our staff work with local National Health Service (NHS) Trusts and other local agencies, which enhances our grasp of the contemporary links between academic research, the major issues of the day and practice. We specialise in applied, multidisciplinary research that addresses issues of national and international concern to health policy and practice and related fields. We have research interest groups in ‘Developing Professional Practice’ and ‘Applied Health Research’, and host the NIHR Research Design Service for the East of England.

The School of Advanced Study is the UK’s national research hub in the humanities and offers a world-class research environment to our research students. We run a range of research training programmes, open to all postgraduate students, as well as an active public engagement calendar. The School is part of the AHRC-funded London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP), through which we are able to offer a number of studentships in humanities disciplines. Our institutes also offer a range of bursaries and studentships for applicants on our programmes.

The Institute’s research strength lies in its combination of the study of several language fields: French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

Its academic staff specialise in literature, cultural studies, history of ideas and comparative studies: the city (especially Berlin, Trieste), borders, the body, psychoanalysis, gender and sexuality, feminism, women’s writing, Jewish writing, exile writing, children’s literature, etc.

Research within the Department covers a wide and exciting array of activities, ranging from quite fundamental research in biology through to the traditional fields of chemical engineering. You may find out more about this by looking under the research theme headings or at specific research activities that lie within these themes.

Postgraduate research in AHVS is largely driven by the interests and research profiles of individual staff members. Our research strengths include: medieval England and Italy; Italian and Northern Renaissance; Renaissance print culture; history of architecture; history of gardens; art and science; British art in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; Romanticism and its reception; the history and theory of the avant-garde; art and sexuality; modernism and postcolonialism; art and psychoanalysis; poststructuralism; history and theory of photography; experimental art-writing.

This programme is designed for leaders, managers, internal and external consultants in organisations who want to articulate what is being ignored in the dominant theoretical approaches to organisational life. Orthodox management literature stresses the predictable and rational aspects of managing, while on the programme you will be encouraged to pay attention to the ways in which leaders and managers are required continuously to act into the unknown.

PhD programme draws upon the expertise of over 80 Human Rights Centre members from different academic disciplines and areas of human rights interest. Our research community encompasses internationally renowned scholars whose work ranges from research into the philosophical and normative bases of human rights, through to more practically-oriented interests in the legal, political and sociological application of human rights.

Our broad range of human rights expertise is reflected in our research clusters, which address both contemporary and enduring human rights issues.

UCL SECReT (the UCL Security Science doctoral research training centre) is the £17m international centre for PhD training in security and crime science at University College London. The UCL offers the most comprehensive integrated PhD programme for students wishing to pursue multidisciplinary security or crime related research degrees. We recruit our doctoral students from a range of scientific backgrounds to pursue research in crime or security domains across the engineering and social sciences. Students can carry out a four year or three year PhD and can enter the programme through various funding routes (self-funded, industry sponsors, scholarships).
