MA in Creative Writing

Program Available at Central London Campus

This course allows you to develop your work as a writer to a professional level, going beyond the personal to write with an engaged sense of literary culture, its social role, and contemporary practices. The MA is designed for students with an established writing practice who are intending to develop their creative writing beyond the first-degree level. It is also designed for those students wishing to proceed to MPhil or Ph.D. This MA is taught in Bedford Square in Central London, in the heart of literary Bloomsbury, putting you within walking distance of publishing houses, bookshops, major UK libraries and all of the other cultural attractions of Central London.

You will take one of four distinct pathways:

• Fiction
• Literary Non-Fiction
• Poetry
• Poetic Practice

While the pathways share a similar structure, they are taught separately so as to ensure you can work to a consistently high level. Please see the Course structure section below for more details on each of these.
