We welcome students who are enthusiastic about their creative writing, committed to developing existing strengths and excited about cultivating new ones. You will learn from successful published writers and join a creative and passionate community of writers.
Our programme is practice-based: students learn by doing. Workshops involve collaborative learning, giving and receiving feedback, drafting, revision and critical reflection. Industry-focused skills are embedded throughout the curriculum.
We support our students to become confident writers with the tools to professionally promote, present and publish their work.
Our innovative thematic course structure keeps you working across different forms and styles throughout the programme – and giving you plenty of choice to focus on what you want to develop for assessment.
Uniquely, alongside these themed modules, each year offers the opportunity to choose your own long project. What about that crime screenplay you’ve dreamt of writing? Or that Fantasy novel that’s kept you awake at night?
