Master of Arts - Creative Writing

University of Reading

Develop a flair for writing, with expert guidance and support from published authors, with University of Reading's MA Creative Writing programme. Creative writing can simultaneously be a vocation, a career and a transferable skill. This programme focuses on the multiple roles that writing can play in their life.

Reading's experts will mentor students in how best to develop and complete mid-sized creative projects – whether they have existing written work or are starting out – while introducing them to a range of modules closely related to the life of writing.

Students will work on a writing project of their own devising, which they’ll develop through a combination of individual supervision and group workshops. In the first two terms, core modules will focus on the effective planning, research and development of their project, then on the early stages of drafting and revising the text as it develops.
