English and Creative Writing MPhil/PhD Fee Waiver

English and Creative Writing at Goldsmiths, University of London is awarding a limited number of competitive fee-waiver bursaries for new and continuing MPhil/PhD students for the academic session 2025-26. The awards provide a full fee waiver for the academic year. When deciding about awards for research degrees, the department is looking for evidence of distinction in a prior BA and/or MA programme, diligence and timely progress in the conduct of original scholarly research of high quality, or of creative writing of high quality. Applications from students working in any field of creative writing, literary criticism, linguistics and translation are welcome. All other things being equal, English and Creative Writing staff may give preference, in the case of one of the bursaries, to high-quality applications focussing on literature before 1830. International candidates are also eligible, though the value of the award will be equal to home fees. All fee waivers are awarded via competition on the basis of merit, as defined by the specified criteria, and not on the basis of need.
