Creative Writing (MA)
Program Available at Lampeter Campus
The overall aim of the program is to equip students with the ability to hone their writing skills and to develop areas of creativity at an advanced level, while the practical benefits offered by the module will enable students to pursue careers as professional writers, editors and publishers A focus on the ability to communicate clearly through precise language prepares students for a range of careers, from writing-based advertising or journalism to related professions such as publicity or arts administration.
Throughout the program you will have the opportunity to develop your writing across a range of fields, expanding your repertoire by trying unfamiliar modes and genres.
The MA has responded to the explosion of online publishing by supporting students in publication and promotion. The course is delivered by a mixture of professional writers and academics who prepare you for the realities of a hugely competitive market. You will learn how to prepare manuscripts, to approach publishers, and, increasingly important, to market yourself.
The School and the University support a number of reading and social events in which students are encouraged to participate. We also support the student-led design, production, publication, and promotion of the well-received online journal The Lampeter Review. As a result of this activity, several former students now work in publishing and we are proud of our excellent track record of student publishing success.
