Course summary

Bangor University's well-established MA in Creative Writing could be the first step towards a writing career, or the chance for a more experienced writer to develop a new perspective. Bangor University offers a dynamic critical and creative environment that will support you in developing your strengths as a writer, while at the same time widening your vision of what creative writing is and where it might lead you. Our MA in Creative Writing is taught by staff who are published writers in different fields as well as practising academics involved in shaping contemporary conversations about literature. Our programme explores poetry and prose through taught modules, leading to the Dissertation, an extended creative writing project in which the form and approach will be up to you. The MA in Creative Writing is focused on your individual creative development while enabling you to engage with other writers, both staff and students, in a group setting that will spark new ideas. As well as focusing on the practicalities of writing, this programme enables you to reflect on your practice so that you can sustain your creativity beyond the degree. Reading a range of international texts, as well as discovering Wales’s unique literary culture, you will learn how to situate your own creative writing in a global context. Regular literary events bring students and staff together with visiting writers and publishers, giving you the chance to discover fresh approaches, connect with creative networks within and beyond the University, and learn how to take your writing to new audiences. Many of our students have gone on to publish their work, as well as gaining new confidence in creative and professional settings. The MA is an ideal preparation for further academic study at PhD level, and this is a course that develops high-level communication skills needed for a wide range of careers in artistic, professional and community contexts. At its heart is the enjoyment of using words creatively in a setting where there is freedom to experiment as you develop a growing sense of your direction as a writer.
