Course summary

Our department houses one of the oldest and largest creative writing programmes in the UK. We bring together critical and creative modes of reading and writing in myriad ways – some involving life-writing, some involving philosophy, and others involving visual images or even music. Here you’ll find a supportive, creative team and a place to research and express your ideas. This programme provides a rare opportunity to combine, juxtapose, or even fuse critical and creative writing. You will spend your time producing:either a substantial creative text (such as a novel) alongside a critical text (such as a commentary on and around your novel)or a single hybrid text (such as a substantial piece of creative-critical writing)Either way, we’ll guide and support you from beginning to end.
