MA Creative Writing and the Writing Industries allows graduates to refine and apply their writing skills in a range of genres, and gain a comprehensive knowledge of the writing industries, including publishing pathways, professional practices and cultural communications.

The Creative Writing and the Writing Industries master's programme includes core creative writing modules alongside professional development: you will learn how these things relate to each other in the case of each individual; their writing, skills and aspirations. There are workshops on a range of genres in fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry, as well as sessions on how to plan, structure and edit completed work in your chosen form. You will also learn about the role of writers in a variety of settings, including the Heritage Sector, community arts and events. The course also includes training on research skills, including accessing information from a range of sources, which are key to postgraduate study, writing the dissertation and working as a writer.
