Course summary

This MA responds to the very latest trends in Creative Writing. If you enjoy writing within the realms of psychological or gothic horror, thriller and domestic noir, fantasy, literary and weird fiction, we may well have the perfect MA for you.

On our MA Creative Writing, our priority is ensuring that you graduate with a creative, professional skillset. This incorporates studying;

  • Popular, long-running modules: Writing for Young Readers, Short Stories and Novel, which explore writing in a variety of forms, all with the aim of helping you produce compelling, contemporary work of a publishable standard.
  • Creative Contexts and Archives and Research, which will enable you to situate your work among other contemporary writers and enlarge your research skills.

Throughout the programme, you will be working with established, successful writers, all of whom are here to help you take your writing to the next level. Successful writers who have graduated from the programme include Holly Pester, Rachel Knightley, and Nikki Dudley.

How you'll learn

This year we have two new modules which respond to the growing demand for a wider range of contemporary writing. Genre Fiction is for writers of fantasy, horror and crime. Dark & Transgressive Writing works with erotic, hybrid, and dystopian fictions. More people than ever are reading fantasy fiction. Erotic writing is no longer a niche genre. Horror and Dark Fiction is part of mainstream popular culture. Crime and dystopian fiction are a vast and creative area.
