Program details

Overview

This Masters develops creative vision and writing ability through close reading, critical discussion and writing workshops. Students engage with a range of contemporary prose and poetry writers, which stimulates their own approach and builds confidence over the year. Students discuss technique and explore wider issues in the practice of writing, including the role of genre and how publishing works. Individual tuition is provided by staff who are published creative writers, who guide students through the production of a substantial portfolio. Students produce either a poetry collection or an extended work of prose fiction, and the course builds transferable skills that apply in academic and employment settings. It suits writers who want focused, expert feedback on their work and a clear path toward a finished body of writing.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: 2:1 Bachelors (Hons) degree in a relevant subject together with submission of a satisfactory writing portfolio of 4000-5000 words of critical and/or creative prose. Non-graduates and non-subject specialists will be considered individually.
