Creative Writing PhD
Aberystwyth University
Key Course Facts
Course Description
This is a research-based course, 'research' in this context implying everything that is required to bring to completion a novel or substantial collection of poems, as well as to provide a critical/analytical account of the work produced. You will be expected, under the guidance of your supervisor, to demonstrate your skills in handling a sustained creative project, while at the same time establishing a critical framework for your writing. Your research will be closely supervised throughout by one or more core members of the Department’s Creative Writing staff.
Entry Requirements / Admissions
The normal entry requirement for the three-year PhD research programme is a 2:1 honours degree or its equivalent in a subject relevant to the intended area of research.
In addition to submitting the standard application materials (please see how to apply) applicants are asked by the Department to supply additional supporting materials before their application will be considered.
English Language Requirements: If you have a Bachelor’s degree from a UK University, you do not need to take an English proficiency test. Non-native English speakers who do not meet this requirement must take a University-recognised test of academic English language proficiency.
