What, for you, are the best things about the course?
Shakespeare and Creativity — the Masters that led to my PhD — is an innovative programme which recognises the vital importance of creative responses to Shakespeare throughout history as a way of understanding his work and its impact. The course has increasingly strong links with the Royal Shakespeare Company, giving students valuable access to contemporary practitioners at the top of their field. It rewards imagination and teamwork, and is always thinking beyond the academy about how to bring your ideas and research into the wider world. My PhD in Birmingham builds on those foundations, but also allows me to work in a vibrant, thriving, creative city!
