The Distance Learning MA in Creative Writing

Photo of students chatting round a table

'This was a wonderfully creative week for me. I wish I could bottle it.'

'This was one of the best weeks of my writing life.'

The Creative Writing PhD

Cover image of Ray Robinson's novel Electricity 'The Creative Writing Ph.D. at Lancaster University has offered me a fantastic opportunity to explore the craft and context of my writing in depth over a period of three years.' Read more about some of the past students who have taken the PhD in Creative Writing.

'The last two years have been incredibly challenging, but I feel that ultimately this is the process that will equip me for my future career, whether that's writer/academic or, most probable, a combination of both. There is a lot of collective experience in this department and people who want you to do well.' Read more about what our current MA and PhD students say.
