The MPhil program typically spans two years. The initial year covers the coursework elements of an MLitt, followed by a second year dedicated to writing a thesis with a maximum length of 40,000 words. Candidates possessing an appropriate Masters or MLitt qualification might qualify for direct entry into the MPhil's second year. The Creative Writing research team assists students in honing their poetry or prose abilities. This collective, featuring John Burnside, Robert Crawford, Oliver Emanuel, Lesley Glaister, Zinnie Harris, Oli Hazzard, Emma Jones, and Don Paterson, has generated critically acclaimed and award-winning works across the UK, Europe, the United States, and the Far East.
