This online Creative Writing Masters immerses you in the writing, publishing trends and creative possibilities shaping literature today — from wherever you’re studying in the world.
You’ll develop your craft across multiple forms, gain insight into the rapidly evolving literary marketplace and build the professional skills needed to navigate it with confidence. Through expert guidance, lively workshops and a supportive global writing community, you’ll refine your voice, experiment boldly and grow into the writer you want to be.
Our fully online MA Contemporary Creative Writing is designed to fit around your life — wherever you are and however you learn best. With full-time and part-time options, it offers a flexible and inclusive route into advanced creative practice for graduates, career-changers, lifelong learners and writers with access or wellbeing needs.
Wherever you choose to write — at home, in a café or across the world — you’ll join a vibrant and supportive online community. You’ll develop your craft in a structured, engaging environment that encourages connection, collaboration and creative growth.
Learning combines live (synchronous) webinars with flexible (asynchronous) activities, giving you the freedom to study at your own pace. You’ll explore fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, scripts and screenplays together, with opportunities to specialise in the forms that matter most to you.
