Master of Arts in Creative Writing and Critical Writing

Program Overview

The Creative Writing MA at Canterbury Christ Church offers a stimulating course taught by experienced tutors who are successful writers themselves. Together we’ll work to hone your craft and help you find a unique voice. We’ll also develop your understanding of the publishing industry and how to make wider use of your writing skills. The course is designed with a flexible approach to learning. Many of our students are adult learners who have been writing independently for a while and are now ready to take the next steps towards a writing career.

Our course is structured with busy lives in mind, with a combination of intensive Study Day sessions and distance learning materials. We also offer a strong focus on developing professional practice, from building a robust creative practice to presenting and pitching work.

The MA Creative Writing includes core modules in The Craft of Writing, Professional Practice, Critical Reading and Research skills, which develop a toolkit for great writing across all genres. An individual creative project in the subgenre of your choice is a step towards producing a final 15,000-wordpiece of extended writing, working closely with a supervisor.
