- Where appropriate, you can choose to write your research project on methodological topics arising from the syllabus of one of our taught Masters-level modules.

- Carry out systematic research into the primary, critical and theoretical literature relevant to the dissertation topic, under the guidance of your supervisor.

- The Department of English and Creative Writing at Goldsmiths comprises leading scholars and creative writers, and has an extensive research community.

- Beyond this original research into the literature, cultures and languages of the past and present, a substantial number of our academic staff produce the literature of the future, as creative writers.
