Location of Kingston University
Kingston University is proud to offer the first Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing in the UK. This course offers talented and aspiring writers the chance to refine their skills under the tutelage of acclaimed professionals while receiving accredited training and experience in teaching in higher education.
The unique combination of creative and practical skills provided on this course will prepare students simultaneously for a career as a publishing writer and an accredited teacher of creative writing.
Students may apply for the two-year MFA or for direct entry to the second year of the course, which will follow completion of an MA in Creative Writing or another related discipline (either at Kingston University or elsewhere in the UK or abroad). In all cases admissions to the MFA will be highly selective and based upon the quality of a writing sample as well as an assessment of the applicant's publishing potential.
