Course summary

Our MRes in Storytelling is a cross-discipline combined critical/creative course that will give you a detailed understanding of the study of stories, storytelling, and narrative in English.

Course overview

Our MRes will give you a detailed critical understanding of the study of stories, storytelling and narrative in English. The Department of English will facilitate the opportunity for you to work with an external practitioner, including Storyhouse, Chester Literature Festival, the Grosvenor Museum, Louder Than Words Festival and Gladstone's Library.

Teaching methods

Teaching will take place at both the University of Chester’s Parkgate Road Campus and other locations depending on the student project. It will be delivered through lectures, seminars, and one-to-one supervision with an academic and/or an external practitioner.

As well as regular supervision between students and academics, the MRes in Storytelling will also require substantial independent study.

Assessment

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.

Job prospects

The MRes in Storytelling is an excellent opportunity for those applicants thinking of pursuing PhD study later, as it offers a grounding in the level of independent research and reflective writing and thinking that are central to PhD study.
