At a recent graduation ceremony, I had the pleasure of witnessing five postgraduates from English, Communication and Cultural Studies being awarded their PhDs, and two others their MAs in Creative Writing. Their success is evidence of the vibrant postgraduate research community in ECCS, and of the quality of our students. As a discipline group, we value postgraduate studies highly, and aim to provide top-quality supervision in a range of areas. We welcome enquiries, so if after reading this website you are interested in one of our degrees, please contact me.
