Our MA in Creative Writing is an exciting and rewarding course, taught with academic rigour by award-winning writers. It will help sharpen your practical knowledge of writing poetry and/or prose fiction and develop your knowledge and understanding of twentieth and twenty-first century literature.
The teaching and research provided offers a combination of conceptual and theoretical reflection, analysis of historical and cultural contexts, pays close attention to literary texts and primary sources, and enables the imaginative creation of new writing.
You will be supported with writing workshops and one-to-one tutorials where you will be encouraged to express and develop your own ideas. You will be based in an environment where your curiosity and imagination, as well as your intellectual discipline and the individual nature of your responses is respected and valued.
Alongside the teaching modules, you will have access to an extensive events programme, which includes the sharing of work and expertise by leading researchers and writers.
We are one of the most well-regarded English departments in the country. We are, in addition, one of the few English departments in the world to teach and research in literature produced in Britain from the early medieval period to the present day, as well as in anglophone literature from across the globe.
Consequently, with the learning opportunities provided by the department’s world-leading scholars, our course will give you the freedom to study broadly or to specialise, but always within a support structure where you will be able to develop your own creative writing.
