Creative Writing Practice & Study MLitt

Translate your creative interests into a postgraduate degree that has flexibility, and learn how to write in a productive, intellectually stimulating, and highly creative way. You will learn how to create and develop your own writing practice through a series of creative and practical workshops. You'll build a significant folio of creative work, and develop this into work of a standard that is ready for formal presentation. We are highly engaged in the world of contemporary publishing and offer you the opportunity to meet with writers and publishers from around the UK and beyond. You'll be able to take part in a varied and exciting range of literary activities, including publishing events, readings, festivals, and magazines. Our students write novels, stories, poetry, monologues, as well as exploring creativity in non-fiction, essays, journalism, reviewing, and writing for the theatre.

Students will normally be expected to have a 2:1 honors degree in any subject. Applicants with alternative qualifications and/or relevant experience may also be considered. All applicants should submit a piece of their creative writing - a poem or short piece of prose (no more than three pages). An explanation of the creative project may also be included with the application. Applicants should also provide, as part of their postgraduate application, copies of their degree transcript and, if applicable, a copy of their degree award certificate, two reference letters, and written work in a subject relevant to literary study.
