Subject Description

This subject is designed to equip students with the comprehensive skills necessary for the successful construction and completion of intellectually sophisticated and commercially competitive research projects. This subject constitutes a detailed but broad introduction to research principles and practices common to the disciplinary formations of English Literary Studies, Cultural Studies, and Creative Writing. Through an intensive schedule of seminar attendance, workshop participation and independent research, students will evolve highly specific and customised research proposals, including relevant literature surveys, a detailed outline and timetable of research project, and an annotated bibliography. Students will also complete a research essay on a specific aspect of critical method in literary or cultural studies.
