Course summary
Our PGCert and MA in Creative Writing provide a unique opportunity to explore and develop your creative writing skills through practice, revision and discussion.
Overview
Our Creative Writing MA develops your understanding of your own writing and your technical writing skills.
You'll further your awareness of:
- writing processes
- professional writing
- publishing
This PGCert and MA in Creative Writing provide a unique opportunity to explore and develop your creative writing skills. We teach creative writing in three areas:
- prose writing, with an emphasis on short fiction, creative non-fiction and the essay
- poetry with an emphasis on the practice and study of a variety of poetic traditions and contemporary techniques
- scriptwriting, which includes writing for the theatre and screenwriting
Through these areas, we'll introduce you to a wide range of subjects and opportunities with which writers are working professionally.
Members of our Creative Writing staff have received national and international recognition for their writing. You'll work with them to prepare your own writing for submission.
If you complete the Creative Writing PGCert, you can choose to transfer to the second year of our part-time MA.
What you'll learn
Through this Creative Writing Master's you'll be inducted into the habits and inventive strategies of writers in a module dedicated to this process. You'll also begin to concentrate on skills specific to different fields of the writing craft.
You'll go on to test your own writing in one of three workshops dedicated to poetry, prose or script. You'll also take the opportunity to focus on areas of imaginative writing that are specialisms of our staff.
