Creative Writing (Taught)

Our postgraduate Creative Writing course is designed for people who want to grow as writers, improve your writing craft and build a strong portfolio of work.

You will take part in writing workshops led by tutors and published writers. In these sessions, you will share your writing, give and get feedback, and learn new techniques. You will explore different forms of writing, such as poetry, prose, short stories and non-fiction. Each workshop helps you build skills and confidence in your writing voice.

This course also prepares you for real-world writing. You will meet literary agents, editors and professionals working in publishing. You’ll learn how to send out your work and what to expect when trying to get published. These experiences will support your journey into professional writing and help you build a career in the creative industries.

As part of your studies, you will attend literary events, readings and online discussions. You will connect with other writers and be part of a creative community. At the end of the course, you will work on a final project. This could be a collection of poems, a novel, short stories or creative non-fiction. This will be your chance to produce work that is ready to be shared with the wider world or submitted to agents or publishers.

By the end of this course, you will have a clear understanding of the writing world and a strong portfolio of work. You will also be well prepared for a career in publishing, teaching, or other roles in the arts and media.

Whether you want to write for yourself or take your writing further, this course will help you find your path.
