Course summary
Our MRes will give you a detailed critical understanding of the study of stories, storytelling and narrative in English. You will explore a wide range of approaches to storytelling, learning about topics such as folklore, podcasting and story mapping. We offer 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 your exploration of your own interests in particular forms of narrative and storytelling. You will have the opportunity to engage with lecturers from a range of subject areas, making this an interdisciplinary course. And through connections with external organisations within Chester, you will develop an awareness of the many and varied ways in which storytelling can be understood and encountered. We also recognise the importance of pastoral support and offer a supportive environment in which to learn and study.
Assessment method
You will be assessed through written coursework comprising annotated bibliographies, essays, reports, reviews and oral presentations, as well as a final 28,000-word dissertation on a topic of your own choice.
