Master of Research - Storytelling

Program Description

This MRes will give students a detailed critical understanding of the study of stories, storytelling and narrative in English. The Department of English will facilitate the opportunity for them to work with an external practitioner, including Storyhouse, Chester Literature Festival, the Grosvenor Museum, Louder Than Words Festival and Gladstone's Library.

The Department of English offers expertise in a variety of writers and eras – including in the practice of creative writing and in a wide range of literary specialisms – which will facilitate students' exploration of their own interests in particular forms of narrative and storytelling.

Students will work alongside Storyhouse staff, who are committed to widening access to the magic of storytelling within the community of Chester. They also recognise the importance of pastoral support, and offer a supportive environment in which to learn and study.
