PhD Creative Writing
Honestly, I love that the Strathclyde research community is generous when it comes to sharing knowledge. People are always happy to help and suggest/advice on where to find what you’re looking for.

PhD History
The highlight of my PhD journey was winning the British Association for Irish Studies' 2022 Essay Prize. The competition is run annually for PhD researchers based in Britain in the field of Irish studies...There are plenty of competitions for PhD researchers which I would strongly recommend applying for even just on a whim!

The research community in Strathclyde is robust - it is built on integrity, innovation, research, diversity and mutual respect. Both home and international students from Africa, Asia, the US, Canada, and Australia are provided with a serene environment based on best practices.
