Program Description

The underlying aim of this course is to provide a nurturing, supportive creative space to hone your craft, where you can collaborate with like-minded individuals, explore new ideas, experiment with language and learn to arrange words in new and exciting ways.Teaching and extra-curricular activities are focused on improving your writing to bring it up to a publishable standard – from the 1:1 feedback from your portfolio supervisor to seminars, workshops, writing competitions and open mic nights. You’ll be able to listen to others and present your own work, giving and receiving constructive criticism from a friendly community of writers who are learning alongside you.The MA Creative Writing can be studied as either a one-year full-time or two-year part-time course, with start dates in September and January. You will complete 180 credits, comprising two optional modules (60 credits), one workshop-based which corresponds to your eventual portfolio medium, and two compulsory core modules (a total of 120 credits).The core modules include the substantive Portfolio module, which provides an an exciting opportunity to work under the supervision of an expert in your chosen genre (poetry, fiction, or life writing). Where possible, you’ll be allocated your supervisor at the beginning of the programme, allowing regular consultation and feedback throughout the duration of your studies.The course can also be studied on a modular basis, with individual modules taken as CPD short courses, with the option to be subsequently counted towards a full MA.
