MA Creative WritingFull-time campus MA students follow an academic programme spanning three 10-week terms from October to July. You can expect to be a member of a group of 8-12 students. Two three-hour long seminars are held for on average six weeks each term. At the last week of each term personal tutorials replace seminars. A record of these tutorials is maintained in your Writing Journal and reviewed by a tutor to monitor progress. All academic staff are involved in teaching on the MA, providing expertise in a wide-range of literary genres. Part-time campus MA students follow exactly the same programme, but meet only once per week as part of a mixed seminar group. Seminars take place over a period of two years, spanning six academic terms.
The course is designed to develop the individual writer’s creative potential within a rigorous critical framework and with reference to the publishing industry. Peer support is a vital aspect of the course and our requirement is that all work submitted to a seminar is read closely and responded to by all participants. This preparation usually takes one-and-a-half to two hours per seminar. From time to time, tutors may run specialized workshops in response to the ideas developing within a seminar group. Writers, Literary agents and publishers are invited to the course to discuss professional aspects of writing and publishing.
