Develop your writing in a supportive and creative environment. Learn from our team of professional writers how to improve your technique – and get published.
Join a course taken by many successful published authors and take your creative writing to a professional level.
Our Masters course in Creative Writing will give you the opportunity to improve your writing by practising and sharing it with a close group of fellow writers, including specialist lecturers who are published authors.
You’ll study the most acclaimed writers of the past 200 years and discover the techniques they used to make their work stand out. We’ll give you opportunities to practise your technique in areas such as characterisation, structure and pacing, and experiment with different forms of writing.
A good honours degree (or equivalent), normally in a related subject. Applicants with professional experience are also encouraged to apply.
We’ll also ask you to supply a writing portfolio, consisting of 2,000 to 5,000 words of your recent writing. This will ideally include some fiction. You may choose to submit a single short story, an extract from a larger work such as a novel, or a collection of shorter pieces, such as a few poems, a segment of a feature-length screenplay, and a piece of flash fiction.
