Short fiction, the novel, poetry, plays and screenplays: students will define and refine their chosen genre at the University of Birmingham, and explore genres that are new to their writing experience.
If students are a graduate with considerable experience in writing creatively and wish to proceed to a career or further study in this area, then the innovative MA in Creative Writing is for them.
The programme will allow students to develop their own work, their own voice and their own ideas with dedicated workshop time and opportunities to give and receive feedback to and from their peers. Students will also benefit from professional skills training to prepare them for their encounters with the writing industry, with insights from industry professional such as editors and publishers.
The programme brings together students who work across different genres so that students can engage collaboratively across genres before specialising in screenwriting, playwriting, prose fiction or poetry for their dissertation.
