The Department of English supports a significant body of postgraduate students developing Practice-based PhDs, in which a component part of the research involves producing a body of creative work. We have students developing novels, poetry collections, plays and creative work involving experimental poetic practices across disciplines and through a wide range of media. This creative component is coupled with the submission of a written critical component. The relationship between the creative and critical work varies depending on the specific project, but can involve writing a critical reflection on the creative work and process of generating it, critically engaging with the work of related writers or artists, forwarding practical and/or theoretical lines of inquiry initiated by the creative practice, and so forth. The department welcomes applications for Practice-based PhDs from persons interested in pursuing this mode of research.<br><br>###COVID Alert Message from University – https://royalholloway.ac.uk/coronavirus-updates/flexible-learning-202021/
