Course Overview

Our MFA (Master of Fine Art) in Creative Writing offers you the opportunity to write a full-length work of fiction or non-fiction to a standard where it may be offered to literary agents. The course is initially taught through small, dynamic workshops and seminars. But the core of the MFA is a one-to-one mentoring relationship with a regularly published and produced award-winning writer. Together, these will help you strengthen and professionalize your identity as an author. A session of feedback from a London-based literary agent will also be offered. Many of our MA Creative Writing students have had notable publishing success after graduation, including: Niki Aguirre Sarah Alexander Laura Allsop Iphigenia Baal Amy Bird

General Eligibility

Interviews are granted on the basis of the following writing portfolio: 5000 words of your original fiction or creative non-fiction, together with your application form, including a personal statement. 300 words giving a description of the writing project you intend to work on, should you gain a place on the MFA.
