The multidisciplinary lectures with established artists such as Aideen Barry, Amanda Coogan, and Mark Garry were inspiring. The one-to-one tutorials have been invaluable in setting myself a customised schedule. As the Masters draws to a close, I have renewed enthusiasm, and a clearer understanding of my own practice and methodology, and of my current creative goals.

The Masters in Creative Practice has given me the time and focus to develop a hybrid novella project that I had put aside. It has allowed me to shine a light on particular areas of interest, develop them through peer-to-peer and staff feedback, and consolidate them into a cohesive piece through modules on creative practice research methods, on Place as influence, and on the opening of new creative pathways through collaborative projects.
