Master of Arts in Creative Writing

Program Overview

This course is ideal if your interests are in a particular form of writing (fiction, poetry, nonfiction, performance), or if you are keen to explore the creative connections between genres. We will introduce you to a wide variety of approaches to writing, and contemporary examples.

The MA is made up of five modules. Two of these, in the first and second semesters, are devoted to Creative and Critical Writing. We will explore what it means to take a critical, self-aware approach to your writing, the overlap between creative and critical work, and how these topics can be thought about or demonstrated in fiction, poetry, nonfiction and performance. These modules are taught by staff across the Creative Writing team, and we will also invite other prominent writers to deliver seminars and workshops.

Alongside this central module, you will take a module on the role of research in creative writing, and another on working collaboratively: here you will have the opportunity to work with staff and other students to produce public-facing work. Starting in the third semester you will work with an individual supervisor to plan and write your Dissertation: a piece of self-directed work that is the most substantial outcome of your MA.

Our London location means you’ll also have the wealth of London’s literary culture on your doorstep: our MA makes the most of this advantage, ensuring you explore the city’s galleries, libraries and other cultural institutions.
