Master of Arts - Creative Writing

Creative Writing is one of the longest established postgraduate courses of its kind in the UK, with a strong record of publication by its graduates. Designed for talented and committed writers, the course is taught by a team of award-winning writers and academics.

Students will be joining a lively community of other writers and teachers where they will have the opportunity to work in a variety of genres, including fiction, poetry, children’s and young adult fiction, and writing for radio, stage and screen.

Students will learn from internationally published and award winning visiting writers such as William Ivory, David Almond, Alan Hollinghurst and Kathleen Jamie. Nottingham Trent University has close links to the publishing and editing industries provide them with networking opportunities and the chance to meet publishers, editors and agents.

Students can get published with Nottingham Trent University's student Anthology. Every year, students produce and publish their own high-quality anthology of original creative writing. This gives them an invaluable insight into the editorial and publishing industry, as well as introducing their work to the wider public.

Students will study Creative Writing in a UNESCO City of Literature. Nottingham Trent University is a place of discovery, exchange, ideas and learning for everyone who loves words and stories. Nottingham Trent University's vision as a UNESCO City of Literature is for a city where everyone is reading and writing their way to a better life.
