Course summary

Our MA in Prose Fiction at UEA is the oldest and most prestigious creative writing programme in the UK. Our part-time course will help transform you as a writer, giving you a surer sense of the imaginative, artistic and intellectual challenges involved in writing fiction.

You’ll study the craft of prose fiction with an international cohort of other excellent writers, and you’ll be taught by an outstanding and committed faculty alongside internationally recognised visiting writers. Recent examples include Tsitsi Dangarembga, Margaret Atwood, Ali Smith, Eleanor Catton and Preti Taneja.

We’ll challenge you to explore your notions about writing and being a writer, provoking you into play, experimentation and risk, with the intention of making you the best writer you can be. You’ll take core creative modules but can also choose from a wide range of critical modules.

Norwich is a beautiful historic city and England’s first UNESCO City of Literature. You can also be part of Norwich’s vibrant literary culture, from regular readings and events at UEA Live and the well-established programme at the National Centre for Writing to numerous literary and arts festivals all through the year. You'll benefit from UEA’s connections in the publishing industry and may pitch ideas for books to visiting publishers and literary agents. At the end of the course, we publish an anthology of our students’ writing and distribute it to a key list of editors, agents and critics. In 2011, UEA’s Creative Writing programme was awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education in recognition of our continuing excellence in delivering innovative courses at a world-class level.
