MA Creative Writing

Course Overview

This program offers a great opportunity to join our thriving literary community and grow your creative potential. You will develop your skills as a writer and explore the theory and practice of writing in the contemporary world through a combination of taught modules, independent study, writing, and research. You will have the opportunity to develop employability skills, work on a publication, and complete your own final project where you work on a longer portfolio in-depth, supervised by a dedicated member of staff. Modules offer a thematic approach and you may write in any form on any given course (you are not asked to pin down whether you are a 'poet' or a 'novelist'). There are also modules that develop your employability - these are ideal if you have an interest in either facilitating writing groups yourself, or learning how the publishing industry operates.
