Course overview

Develop your portfolio of writing while extending your knowledge and understanding of the practice of creative writing.

Our 1-year MA in Creative Writing will develop your creative writing abilities and ideas, while revealing your authorial voice and vision. You’ll attend workshops, produce 2 extended portfolios of creative writing in your chosen genre(s), and attend classes in various topics in creative writing.

You’ll also have the opportunity to gain experience in teaching creative writing or further your knowledge of other areas of creative practice or English literature by choosing from a selection of research-led modules taught by specialists in the field.

A series of complementary modules stresses an integrated and cohesive experience of developing your craft and writing skills. We also ensure that you have the opportunity to engage with the writing industry, liaise with creative professionals, and to showcase your work.

By studying with us, you’ll master the ability to independently produce literary works of sophistication and skill, and participate in writers’ workshops. You'll also develop your knowledge and skills in the writing of one or more literary genre(s) and the processes of editing and revision.
