Description
The PhD programme in creative writing will churn the creative wheels of your brain. You will work with the expert team of creative writers who will supervise your research work. All good topics develop over the course of your reading and supervisions and at the end of your first nine months, you present excerpts from the creative work, synopsis, bibliography and table of contents, plus a list of training courses, workshops and events attended, to a progression panel which makes recommendations for your future direction.
