Centre for Narrative Research

Postgraduate Programmes in Narrative Research

2011-2012

The Narrative Research postgraduate
programmes at CNR are uniquely
interdisciplinary. They draw on social
sciences, humanities and arts disciplines
to provide advanced and comprehensive
education and training in narrative theories
and methods. The programmes give students experience in applying narrative concepts and analysis to diverse fields. They guide students through the planning and performance of their own narrative research. Masters and Diploma programmes also develop more general skills of review, criticism and research, in the context of narrative work.

The programmes are taught by prominent scholars based at the Centre for Narrative Research, an international leader in the field of narrative research in the social sciences, arts and humanities. CNR also runs many seminars, conferences and masterclasses, and hosts eminent international visitors. Students are encouraged to participate in this wider research community.

Students from the programmes have gone on to MPhils, PhDs and lectureships, careers in social work, teaching and psychology, and to work with international NGOs, advertising agencies, management teams, and arts organisations. Students have used their work in the programmes to write reports, papers for publication in international peer reviewed journals, and a number of books.
