* You will be taught by a number of successful and well-regarded professionals in the field. You will also have support and encouragement from the University’s Writer in Residence.
* You and your peers will have the opportunity to organise and publish an Anthology and online magazine.
Programme overview * MLitt:12 months full-time; 24 months part-time
* MLitt (distance learning): 12 months full-time
This programme is directed at those who are already engaged in writing.
The aims of the programme are
* to familiarise you with the writing context (audience, publishing in all its forms, the legal framework, modes of transmission), to allow you to consider major creative and editorial engagements from the modern through the contemporary period and, most importantly, to subject you to the discipline of regular writing by providing a stimulating workshop and tutorial environment in which skills in different genres can be acquired and discussed
* to develop a critical understanding of contemporary theories of writing
* to provide a space in which an extended piece of individual writing/research can be produced.
The distance learning programme is the same as the campus version, but with tutorials and workshops conducted online (or by telephone and email in the case of tutorials). You will have the opportunity to participate in sessions with campus-based students.
Your portfolio: consisting of poetry, fiction, life-writing or script-writing; is at the heart of the summative assessment.

IELTS
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
Take testRequirements
Applicants for admission will normally have a good first degree, equivalent at least to an Upper Second Class Honours degree in the British system, though this is not a pre-requisite. Admission is via the submission of a portfolio of creative work, and appraisal of the quality of that work is the primary basis for admission.
All applicants submit a portfolio of original work (poetry, fiction, life-writing or other prose, drama, and in some instances a portfolio of work in or of translation). Letters of reference and other documentation are also considered. Your referees should include an academic and a creative referee where possible. Where this is not possible, you can provide referees from other areas who can vouch that you are who you say you are and that your work and achievements are your own. It is particularly helpful if these referees are familiar with your writing and can provide references on that basis.
A maximum of 30 pages (one side only, double spaced throughout) per submission will be considered, and the portfolio can contain prose, verse, script, or a combination of these.
If your first language is not English, the University sets a minimum English Language proficiency level
