Comments about MLitt Creative Writing - At the institution - Glasgow - Scotland

• Objectives
  This programme is directed at those who are already engaged in writing. The aims of the programme are: * to familiarise you with the writing context (audience, publishing in all its forms, the legal framework, modes of transmission), to allow you to consider major creative and editorial engagements from the modern through the contemporary period and, most importantly, to subject you to the discipline of regular writing by providing a stimulating workshop and tutorial environment in which skills in different genres can be acquired and discussed * to develop a critical understanding of contemporary theories of writing * to provide a space in which an extended piece of individual writing/research can be produced.
• Entry requirements
  Entry requirements Admission depends on the quality of your portfolio (three copies of your portfolio and an application form required) of original work which should be a maximum of 30 pages, one side, double-spaced, soft bound (eg stapled or comb bound). The portfolio may consist of complete pieces of work or extracts in one or more genres. The requirement for a first degree may be waived if the quality of submitted work is of an exceptionally high standard. Academic, editorial and creative references are preferred, but if this is not possible referees should be familiar with your writing.

• Course description
  Content
  
  Since the nature of creative writing demands a high proportion of time spent on working individually, class time and instruction provide a supportive context for that core activity. This structure entails work-in-progress workshops and one-to-one tutorials.
  
  The distance learning programme is the same as the campus version, but with tutorials and workshops conducted online (or by telephone and email in the case of tutorials). There is no residency requirement but it is likely that students will be invited to a summer school (at extra cost), if there is sufficient demand.
