Taught by published and active writers and researchers, the MA Creative Writing at Cardiff Met aims to support the development of your creative and critical writing skills.
While the MA covers a range of literary forms, the focus is on developing your skills and knowledge of narrative techniques, writing place, as well as writing for change. To add to this, a substantial portion of the MA is dedicated to professional practice, helping you to prepare and submit manuscripts, as well as giving you opportunities to learn from practitioners in the creative industries.
Creative Writing content is supported by two skills modules, Research Methods and Literary and Critical Theory, which give you the tools needed to make the leap to postgraduate study and encourage your development as a critical thinker and researcher. The dissertation gives you the flexibility to pursue your own creative project and research interests with the support and encouragement of a supervisor.
Applicants should usually have a 2.2 honours degree, in a relevant subject.
A range of bursaries, scholarships, loans and grants are available. Please visit website to find out more.
Many of our students use the course to generate and hone their own writing for publication. Our creative practice modules are designed with eventual publication in mind. Our assessments are designed around publication, performance and/or production. Several of our students have had publication and industry success (see below).
The MA is also a great choice for those wishing to enhance their employment and professional opportunities in editorial and publishing careers. The programme is suitable for those who would like to become teachers of English literature and creative writing as well as those who are already teachers.
