Degree Successes for English and Creative Writing Students

Over three dozen Lancaster MA and PhD students received degrees in English Literature and Creative Writing at the degree ceremony held on Wednesday 15th December 2010.  Many Distinctions and Merits were awarded to the work of both Literature and Creative Writing MA students. Scroll down the page for photographs of our Departmental reception.

This year's Princess Alexandra Medal was awarded to Naomi Kruger (left) for her outstanding portfolio of short stories, which achieved a Distinction in the 2008-10 Distance Learning MA in Creative Writing.  Naomi's portfolio was the best submitted in an exceptionally strong cohort of Distance Learning MA students, eight of whom were awarded Distinctions.

The Department is also delighted to announce that the degree of PhD was awarded to Kim Wiltshire (pictured below left), a writer of short fiction and plays who submitted a joint Creative Writing / English Literature dissertation; and to Jacquline Wilkinson for her study of Thomas Hardy, which has just been accepted for publication by Ashgate Press.  Pictured below with her supervisor, Dr Tess Cosslett, Jacky Wilkinson celebrated her 71st birthday the day before graduation.
