About Creative Writing, MA - at University of Plymouth

Aim of the programmeThis Creative Writing programme aims to enable students to develop their own creativity and produce a substantial portfolio of original writing as they engage with the best contemporary work being published.Duration1 year full time or 2 years part timeGeneral programme structureAn integrated framework of study in contemporary writing and recent theory informs each module in the creative writing programme, which is in every case led by a writer published in the field. Seminars, designed to encourage maximum participation from students, are based on the writers' workshop as an arena for the critical reception and imaginative development of students' work. The modular scheme allows students to follow their own specialisms, but also encourages writers to take on the intellectual challenge of exploring the unfamiliar in various literary forms. Completing four modules (including core modules: workshop practice and research for writers) results in a PgDip award, which also qualifies students to write a creative MA dissertation. The dissertation is a supervised project of original writing such as: a collection of stories, a section of a novel, a full-length play/film-script, narrative non-fiction, or a collection of poems. Staff include Tony Lopez, author of 20 books including False Memory, a 2003 book of the year in the Guardian and New Statesman, and Anthony Caleshu, author of The Siege of the Body and a Brief Respite.
