MA Creative Writing

We accept a wide range of internationally recognised qualifications. As a general guide, most of our undergraduate programmes accept one of the following.

• A recognised and relevant foundation/Access course (minimum pass mark for a UK-based foundation programme is usually 55%)
• High School Diploma (to age 18) where it is deemed equivalent to A Levels (3 A Level passes at BCC/CCC)
• An International Baccalaureate (28 points)
• EDEXCEL BTEC National Diploma (MMM-DMM)

As a general guide, for postgraduate study you'll need to hold the equivalent of a good honours degree (a 2:1 or 2:2 depending on the course) from a recognised university.

We also accept applications from students who have completed a 'top-up' degree at a UK university. If you hold a UK degree you don't need to provide an IELTS or other English language test certificate.
