About this course

This MRes prepares you for more advanced research projects at MPhil/PhD level, but is also a degree in its own right. It's ideal if you're considering a 'taster' year of research, or if you're keen to complete shorter term research at graduate level.

  • Study in depth and reflect critically upon an aspect of research methods relevant to your dissertation topic, under the guidance of a supervisor.

  • 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.

  • The Department is home to the Goldsmiths Prize, established in 2013 to celebrate the qualities of creative daring associated with the College.
