Why Lancaster?
Our department houses one of the oldest and largest creative writing programmes in the UK. We bring together critical and creative modes of reading and writing in myriad ways – some involving life-writing, some involving philosophy, and others involving visual images or even music. Here you’ll find a supportive, creative team and a place to research and express your ideas.
Critical / Creative
This programme provides a rare opportunity to combine, juxtapose, or even fuse critical and creative writing. You will spend your time producing:
Either way, we’ll guide and support you from beginning to end.
Support and events
You will meet regularly on a one-to-one basis with your tutor to discuss your work, and this can be either online or in person.
Our literary connections are embedded in the city and nearby Lake District. Many of our special literary events, such as talks from visiting scholars and authors, take place in The Storey, Lancaster’s Victorian Art Centre or at Lancaster’s spectacular medieval Castle.
The archive-rich Wordsworth Museum at Grasmere is usually the venue for our annual study retreat day, and the Department’s May Gathering, a social event, is usually held at Lancaster’s ancient Priory, as is our annual Literature and Religion Lecture.
It is also entirely possible to complete this PhD programme online via distance learning.
