Academic titleMSc English Literature: Creative Writing
Course descriptionProgramme
The MSc in Creative Writing develops both creative and reflective understanding of the chosen genre of writing, through courses both creative and literary-critical. Working with established authors and discussing each other's work, students will hone both their own vision and skills as authors and their capacity for imaginative, sympathetic analysis of writing.
Learning Outcomes
Students taking the course will expand and refine their skills in poetry, fiction or drama. They will develop critical skills as readers of their own and others' work and will gain experience in the processes of presenting and publishing literary writing.
How You Will Be Taught
In each of two teaching semesters, students take a core creative practice seminar, supported by workshops, in fiction, poetry or drama, and a subsidiary literary critical course in a relevant area of literary study. This is followed by a substantial independent summer project with an individual supervisor.
