Recent Graduates
| At a recent graduation ceremony, I had the pleasure of
witnessing five postgraduates from English 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 ECS, 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.
