Students are welcome to submit an original piece, or a former piece of coursework.
Students may wish to submit any of the following:
- An article of 3,500 – 6,500 words
- A creative-critical piece (if your creative piece is too large/ three-dimensional then photographs may be used, but must be accompanied with a critical commentary of reasonable length)
- An interview (with relevance to your area of study)
- A book review (of a critical publication, or new literary work)
However, re-submitted coursework must match the following criteria:
- Students must state which module it was originally submitted for and their tutor’s name.
- Students must show that they have responded to staff feedback by including a 100-400 word statement responding to the essay feedback.
- Re-submitted coursework will also answer an argument/ contain an original title, not use the questions written in handbooks. Essays from half-units where the student creates their own question, not pre-set essay questions will be given more weight and valued for originality.
- Masters students are welcome to submit previous undergraduate work (e.g. a chapter of their third year dissertation).
