The MA in Creative and Critical Writing offers you an opportunity to improve your writing within a dynamic and constructive atmosphere. On the MA, students work together and with tutors to learn more about the processes of writing, and to develop a critical awareness of their own work. We encourage creative exploration, innovation and honesty within the group workshops so that your experience of working at MA level is academically rigorous, creatively stimulating and good fun.
The programme offers students the opportunity to develop creative work in progress, give and receive feedback and produce new writing. It also encourages students to discuss the work of established writers and consider the theoretical, social and cultural contexts of contemporary writing.
The programme enhances writing skills and develops critical and creative awareness and understanding. Many graduates have gone on to become published writers and poets. Others have careers within teaching, journalism and the wider media industry as well as within the arts. Employers often favour individuals with excellent writing skills. The programme also provides a firm foundation for undertaking a research degree or further training.
